   This is an amazing pattern. Not great instructions but you always expect that with Style Arc patterns.
   I made these in corduroy. I removed the front pockets and added patch pockets instead. I also added a knee seam.
   I made a size 10 and the fit was absolutely perfect.
   I will definitely be making this pattern again.

   I made up the pattern in a lightweight silver-beige cotton drill and I am very pleased with my end result, the style is just what I was after. My main complaint would be the very sketchy instructions that come with the pattern. I have been making clothes for 50 years, and even I had to refer to another pattern to get proper instructions for the fly as it’s a while since I did one. And as usual the body measurements for the sizes bear no relation to the actual fit, I measured as a size 12 but could easily have got away with size 10. Oh, and I had hoped to get the pdf printed but not possible in the UK as it is wider than A0, so had to mess about with scissors and sellotape. Otherwise great 🙂

   I love this pattern. Apart from grading down from waist to hip, and also shortening the leg length I made no other alterations to the pattern. The fit was great.
   I would definitely recommend this pattern if you are looking for a wide leg Jean .
   It was an easy sew.

   Just made these and really like this pattern – they are wide but not too wide, nice classic pattern for a wide jean. I would recommend always interfacing the waistband, but otherwise I thought SA did a great job with this one. I did find I had to shift the back pockets a tad to the outside but more of a personal preference. Well done StyleArc!

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.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
