Customer Questions and Answers
I'm wondering why this pattern received an advanced skill level rating? I'd like to try the pattern but that rating scares me. Thanks
F|S Team
Our designer gave this pattern the advanced skill rating because the side seams of the skirt are cut on the bias and are prone to stretching out of shape easily in linen. Plenty of tips are provided for how to avoid and remedy this, so if this type of skirt is something you have sewn before, you may find this within your skill capabilities.
Do you have the shirt pattern?
F|S Team
Yes, this pattern will be released later this year under the name Aurelia. Please look out for its release :)
Wrap-around skirt patterns are common but for the price??? I don't think this one is for me; I'll stick with what I have. Although it's still a cute pattern.
F|S Team
Thank you for your feedback
I see the pattern doesn't include the top so it is not an outfit. The discount for pattern is only 10% instead of the typical 20%, and you discontinued including fabric with pattern purchases. This is a very steep price increase on multiple levels which is disappointing. I have liked your pattern very much, but I won't pay $40 plus postage for a wrap around skirt. I would pay for the top and the skirt at the 20% price point.
F|S Team
Thank you for your feedback. please keep an eye out for deeper discounts on our Patterns, we often have different percentages off, so you may be able to find a day where the pattern is 20% off.
In the past you included fabric at this price
F|S Team
I'm sorry we no longer offer fabric with our patterns
I miss pics on your plus sized model. Please bring them back. When can we expect them?
F|S Team
Thank you for your feedback here, we understand and we hear you!
How much of an overlap is there? I want to make sure when sitting down the skirt doesn't gap open.
F|S Team
the whole front of the skirt is overlapped completely at both side seams, so no need to worry about gaping :)
Does the skirt have a tie optio on the inside?
F|S Team
the skirt doesn't tie on the inside, instead the ties wrap around the body and through a gap in the waistband to hold both sides in place.
$38 (on sale) for a pattern? And it doesn't even include all sizes. I'm not sure if I would need an 8 or a 10, so I would have to pay for two patterns. Your fabric is lovely but y'all really need to rethink your patterns.
The skirt is darling, but $36 on sale? Sorry, but no thank you.
This skirt should work well in a much softer fabric as well. It is a perfect skirt for driving on these very cold days we're having. 32 degrees this morning and 10 tomorrow at this time. I love the skirt! It fits so well into my wardrobe! Thank you.
