I made this skirt in a short version for my daughter. I thought she’d wear it to run errands, but the fit was perfect & the result was so professional that she’s wearing it for work. Everything was quite easy, except the elastic insert was easy except for the stress put on my arthritic hands to keep the band & elastic stretched as I attached to the skirt. Again, the problem was mine, not the pattern. Keeping the band & elastic taught as it is attached to the skirt gives the resulting waistband a really professional look. The pattern is very easy. The pockets look great top stitched. It’s a fast sew.

Easy pattern to put together. I used a slight stretch twill. I sized for my hips and had to adjust the waist elastic for the size I selected as my waist is much smaller. I lowered the side slits as I’m not young with pretty legs. Love that it is a faux front! Already have a 2nd one on my sewing table.

Love this pattern. Best of all it fit me perfectly. I used a nice medium-weight denim stripe that must have been made for this pattern. I’ll make it again!

How Do I Know What Size I Am?
Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.
When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:
A. Shoulder Breadth
Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.
B. Upper Arm Girth
This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.
C. Bust
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.
D. Waist
This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.
E. Hip
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
