Love it! One thing though, the pockets are really low. Did I make a mistake?
I made this robe for a friend and it was a very enjoyable make. In my experience all Closer Core patterns have immaculately detailed instructions and this pattern was no different. I used a combination or flat felled and french seams with no trouble.
Robe magnifique réalisée dans un satin terracotta. Sa réalisation demande de la minutie mais pas de difficultés particulières. Explication claire et détaillée
My body measurements falls on size 10, the pants were way too big. I end up sewing size 6 and still have room in it.
I do love the shape of the pants and the style. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow.
Hi Lital,
Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with the sizing!
We're so glad to hear you love the shape and style of the pants, and that you found the instructions clear and easy to follow.
Regarding the sizing, could you tell us which measurements you used from our size chart? We'd love to understand better - did you use the finished garment measurements or your body measurements when selecting your size? Our size chart includes ease for comfort and fit, so the finished garment measurements will always be larger than your actual body measurements.
This information would be really helpful for us and for other customers reading reviews.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback!
The instructions are just not understandable at all. The notches are not clearly defined as notches. The images do not clearly reflect what the pieces should look like. The best help I had came from a YouTube channel completely unrelated to the company. I had to completely scrap the collar stand, nothing made that make any sense and it just wasn’t worth adding it. If you have little to intermediate skills and would rather follow the instructions as opposed to just winging it don’t waste your time. All I have gotten from this pattern is frustrated.
Hi Nicole,
Thank you for your feedback on the Kalle pattern.
The Kalle is indeed designed as an intermediate level pattern, and some experience with collar construction before tackling this project can help. We've published several detailed blog posts with step-by-step photos to supplement the written instructions: https://blog.closetcorepatterns.com/category/our-patterns/kalle-shirt-shirtdress/
We find that taking time to read through all the instructions before starting and referring to our blog tutorials can really help with the more complex construction steps.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
Best regards,
