a*******e (verified owner) – :
The skirt pattern is pegged, rather than straight, which I found a very flattering look. I made my usual uneven hip height adjustments and lengthened the back vent after making a toile but, with these minor alterations, this StyleArc skirt pattern gave me an excellent fit. It is a classic style and I shall make this pattern multiple times (why did I take so long to order it?).
The pattern would also be an excellent starting point for making minor variations to ring the changes on style. A front overlay with hidden side vent, or with a waistband instead of a facing.
I also liked the length, the full front pattern pieces (avoiding a fold that never quite presses out at CF), and the economy in relation to fabric. Highly recommended.
Why only 4 stars? The instructions could be improved, in particular bagging out the vent (I did extra hand sewing instead) and I would have liked a PDF version to be available instead of having to wait for a posted copy. I would have given 4.5 if that had been possible.
