Pattern Description: Fabulous yoga pant with boot leg, elastic waist and back pocket.

Pattern Sizing: I made a sz20 with adjustments

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes, I left off the back pocket though.

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions are brief but if you've sewn pants before they go together quite easily.

Fabric Used: I used a cheap polyester pique which was a bit too shiny and wasn't quite stretchy enough.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Because the fabric I used wasn't stretchy enough I had to add to the side seams. I also added about 1" to the inner leg of the back pattern piece and scooped out the crotch curve. Leg length was perfect on me (I'm 5'7").
The standard waistband is a thin one with elastic in it, I ended up cutting it off and adding a wide fold down type waistband just because I think they feel nicer to wear.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? yes, I've sewn it since in a Supplex and because its stretchier it fits a lot better and looks nicer.

Conclusion: Its a great yoga pant pattern, very similar to RTW. I always find StyleArc well drafted, the notches all line up and as long as the fabric is stretchy enough they fit exactly like RTW.

Great fit. Is there elastic in your waistband at all, or is it just a stretchy fabric that hugs?

Great yoga pants. I love mine too but the fold over waist is a good idea. Aren't you going to try the model pose :-)?
