I was wearing one of my Annika Style Arc top yesterday. I only wear them around the house they are that bad. My husband commented that because I have biggish boobies the tops go straight out from my boobs and therefore don't give me any shape below. In fact they stick out. The pattern needs either bust darts or the sides need shaping. That's fine, I can do that, but why should I when I have paid all that money for a pattern. I have one more thing to make from the patterns I bought and that is a pair of trousers. Might make a start on them soon, but it is half term week, so maybe not.
I haven't drafted my own patterns since I made bridalwear but I think I will start doing so again. I can certainly do better than Style Arc.
In fact. I don't rate many of these indi pattern companies at all, much better design and cutting with, say, Vogue.
