My inherent pdf aversion may have been a factor in my not having tried style arc so far despite seeing many really interesting styles on DF's blog. Mostly, I think it's because since I've returned to sewing I've been sewing for others and perhaps, being non-sewers, they seem more drawn to photos rather than drawings.
I'm now starting sewing for me however and since I've had some good recommendations for specialist pdf pattern printers I'm sure it won't be the case much longer.
I can definitely see why you love that style, maliw, but dresses still aren't my best option even after my big weightloss however it would also work well as a tunic or shorter top.
