Daring Duster – Printed Pattern | Style Falcon

$22.00 USD

Get ready to swish! The Daring Duster brings the drama with a clever split back and side vents for maximum liftoff.

View A is a straight-cut long vest with bound edges and patch pockets. View B is a more tailored jacket look, with side seam pockets, a collar and vented cuffed sleeves.

Either way, sewers will add a layer of fabulousness to any outfit.

The Daring Duster uses lightweight or sheer woven fabrics that look good on both sides, so the wearer looks great from any angle - especially walking away! Try seersucker, light denim, brocade, lace, organza, lawn, poplin, chiffon or light linens or suitings.

This pattern comes with a free video tutorial on the Style Falcon YouTube channel. All measurements and instructions are provided in Imperial and metric units.

The pattern package includes all 11 sizes of the pattern, printed in black ink on one folded sheet of sturdy paper, not tissue. The package also includes a black-and-white stapled paper instruction booklet and a full-color paper quick start guide with fashion illustrations, technical drawings, size charts and a list of materials to sew the pattern. The size charts list body measurements and finished pattern measurements. The quick start guide also provides a description of the pattern and an explanation of Style Falcon's cut and fit.

The entire package measures 8.5 by 5.5 inches (21.5 cm by 14 cm). It is bundled into a clear zip-top plastic bag, with a margin of ½ inch (13 mm) at the top for hanging if desired.

Designed by Style Falcon, an independent American pattern company founded by home sewist Diane Scarponi in New Haven, Connecticut. Every Style Falcon pattern is drafted for a mature figure: little bust-to-waist definition, lower bust points and a C cup (the average for women 55 and over in the US), more room at the tummy, hip and bicep, and a center-back seam with rounded-back and forward-shoulder shaping. Pattern lines and markings are bold and easy to read, and ⅝ in (1.5 cm) seam allowances and hems are included.
