Style Falcon Daring Duster Digital Sewing Pattern | PDF Pattern

About Style Falcon

Style Falcon sewing patterns are thoughtfully designed for women of menopause age and beyond, enabling them to create a handmade wardrobe that fits their bodies and their lives, without the hassle of adapting patterns designed for much younger bodies.

Unlike most sewing patterns, Style Falcon patterns are drafted for a mature figure - not a youthful hourglass figure. That means:

• Little bust-to-waist definition

• Lower bust points, for a “C” to “D” cup

• More room at the tummy, hip and sleeve bicep

• Center-back seams, with rounded back and forward shoulder shaping

• For people about 5’4” (about 163 cm)

See the sizing chart for a list of body measurements and finished measurements for this pattern.

About the Daring Duster

Get ready to swish! The Daring Duster brings the drama with a clever split back and side vents for maximum liftoff. The Daring Duster also features a back double yoke, pockets, and two options to make a long straight-cut gilet vest or jacket.

Always hot? Try View A - it's a straight-cut long vest with bound edges and patch pockets. Or opt for View B - a more tailored jacket look, with side seam pockets, a collar and vented cuffed sleeves.

Either way, you’ll add a layer of fabulousness to any outfit.

Fabric Choices

Choose lightweight woven fabrics that look good on both sides, so you'll look great from any angle - especially walking away! Lawn, shirting, poplin, seersucker and crepe are ideal, or try sheers such as organza and lace. See the materials charts for everything sewers need to make this pattern.
