How to choose your size
- Compare your waist circumference (narrowest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that best fits your waist. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- Compare your hip circumference (widest part) to the “Body Measurements” table. Choose the size that fits your hip best. If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size if you like your garment more fitted; otherwise, choose the bigger size.
- It’s OK to use different sizes for the bust, waist and hip. The instructions for blending sizes are included in the pattern.
- If you are taller or shorter than 5’6” (168 cm), you should consider lengthening or shortening the garment. The instructions for lengthening or shortening are included in the pattern.

This was a fun and easy sew, with nice clear instructions. It was my first time using an Itch to Stitch pattern and the fact that it was free made it a great way to acquaint myself with quality of the drafting & instructions. I definitely have my eye on several patterns to purchase after making this. PS – it’s also fun and comfortable to wear. I’m really pleased with how it came out.

So easy to follow the instructions. I do wear my skirts lower on my hips so I brought in the hip shape in slightly. I also made it with ponte material which is stiff and thick but I like to finish. Thank you

Woman, you have talent. After I’ve built my confidence and gotten a little more time to myself, I want to come back to your site. I’ve just got too many patterns to not try a FBA on SOME of them. That’s the problem I have in a nutshell: confidence, time and too many patterns needing an FBA. But you go on with your bad self creating patterns and I hope I’ll be back. God willing.

I made this for my daughter-in-law and it took less than an hour. I loved the method of inserting the elastic. It was a bit short for her to wear to work (she’s a teacher) in the original version. She really likes the skirt so I will make it several more times, just a bit longer.
Shirley (verified owner) –
I made this for my daughter-in-law in less than an hour. I LOVED the way the elastic was applied. I have just recently started to test Indie patterns. I have sewn for nearly 60 years and I’m learning new techniques from you youngsters. Thank you.
