Pattern Description: Misses/Plus Size 1940's Retro Suit - Skirt, Pants and Lined Jacket

Pattern Sizing: I cut a size 10

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes

Were the instructions easy to follow? Super easy

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Only 4 pieces, quick construction. I adore the front pleats!

Fabric Used: Wool blend suiting fabric

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I had to reduce the width so I brought in the inseam 1/2 inch each side. This also brought up the crotch for a better fit.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, I already have plans for a red pair.

Conclusion: I love, love, love these pants! See more pics and details on my blog here!
