Sure wish they would have real people pics, not celebrity inspirations. I bet the linen feels wonderful in the summer heat.

The crotch was way too short but got round that by adding a waistband. After all that they turned out great and I got lots of complements when I wore them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08628715082188052499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217930603555334551.post-36864050950554577992016-09-07T09:45:42.704-04:002016-09-07T09:45:42.704-04:00Wow, it looks like you're swanning around on a...Wow, it looks like you're swanning around on a tropical island. Well, it is Florida, isn't it? And wearing cool cotton attire. The angular sides of the top is a nice treat.

With a couple pics and a little help for beginning sewists, it could be called easy.Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784505178222083364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2217930603555334551.post-47467376279446638582016-09-07T04:32:40.553-04:002016-09-07T04:32:40.553-04:00I bet you make this work - I love your Lagenlook m...I bet you make this work - I love your Lagenlook makes.

I think they would actually add some interest in solid colors.

Did you eliminate a CF seam? And the pockets are great.<br /><br />FWIW I always thought StyleArc sizing was UK/Aussie RTW sizing, which in turn is about the same as US pattern sizes, maybe one size larger. I usually make a 10 in Big Four (according to the charts I should make a 12 but I don't like lots of ease) and also a 10 in StyleArc.

How would I pick the size? I'm no where near a 10! And no one seems to do the hem as drafted, plus I've heard the directions leave a lot to be desired. So maybe it's a pass.
