   Great pattern! So very easy & the result is absolutely gorgeous. It was very fast to cut out & assemble. I used a jersey material ; the result is an amazing skirt for work or casual wearing. I’ll be using this pattern for many more skirts.

   Highly recommended.

   I have now made this pattern multiple times and love wearing it. No extra bulk over abdomen and hips but a bit of swish at the hem so you can still be active.

   I found it very straightforward to make (though I did alter the method of sewing the elastic casing inside the waist so that I could make subsequent adjustments to the length of elastic). There are only two pattern pieces (the yoke – of which cut 4- and the skirt panel – of which cut 6) so there is much less taping of pdf sheets than you might expect. If you have a cover stitch machine you can press seams open and stitch with the middle needle in the ditch to keep all the layers flat as well as highlight the seamlines.

   A great pattern – thank you StyleArc.

   I love this skirt!
   The lines are flattering. It goes together smoothly and easily. I have finished 2 skirts and I am starting another one.
   I purchased various sizes and I am anxious to make more of theses great skirts!

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.
