I made these in a poly cotton and will be making another pair in a heavier linen. As a paper bag style, itās easy to adjust the crotch depth. Pattern sizing is a true fit, and the taper is good. When I make them in linen, think I will take some of the back fullness out, and perhaps skip the ties to reduce bulk a bit.

This was my first make from Style Arc, thereāll be many more. Very happy with my pants, made a size 10 because I was between sizes but will make an 8 next time

Lovely pattern, didn’t use the cuff but lengthen leg. No other alterations needed, I made the size 12. The instructions aren’t beginner friendly but they are easy to put together if you use a magnifying lens! This is the second pair of pants I have made by Style arc the other pair were the Clare pants which I love.

Great pattern, I have made it up 3 times now. The first time I used a light weight linen, and felt the legs were too tight, so I pulled the seam apart and added a strip down the outside leg, which ended up adding not only extra room, but a bit of style too!
2nd pair I did in a stretch wool check but left off the paperbag waist by cutting the band on the foldline. Worked well.
3rd pair were in a wool check, with no stretch. Ok, but would always opt for a bit of stretch in the fabric or a little extra in the leg in future, especially around the knee area.

Love these pants! Made them true to size and they fit perfectly. Sewn in a red stretch twill suiting (5% spandex) and I get compliments on them every time I wear them out.
I modified the pattern a little bit by tapering the cuff and folding it in half before sewing (so that there’s no hemming), and I was pleased with the result. I also top stitched everything for a more professional look.
Would make again! Maybe with a black crepe for more flow.

Such a great pattern, quick to sew. I don’t find worded instructions the easiest to follow but love the detailed line drawings which help visualise how they are constructed. Super comfortable. I was between sizes so sized up but will size down for my next pair. Highly reccomended!

I made these pants in a wool/cashmere pinstripe left over from making a boyfriend blazer years ago. The size 12 fits well after taking a chunk out of the centre back as usual for my sway back and the pattern works well with the striped cuffs. Worn with the blazer and a simple top I have a modern take on a business suit!
Iām planning to hack another trouser pattern to include the paperbag waist from these.

Wonderful easy common sense sewing! Pant looked lovely…on my friend. I needed a bigger size, as my leg is fuller and I suppose I am accustomed to oversized commercial patterns needing to be taken in. I did not trust the style arc pattern and sized down. Now I know better, and I have happily made myself a true to size pair.

I bought this in a 22, just going on my usual pant size without checking any measurements and they are perfect! I made them in a bold Floral stretch cotton sateen.I really like the fit and style of these pants. I am an experienced sewer so I just made them in my own order without following the instructions, as I found the instructions a little hard to follow. If making again I would tighten the elastic a bit and just extend the leg rather than have the little cuff unless I did use a stripe as pictured.
