About Style Falcon

Style Falcon sewing patterns are thoughtfully designed for women of menopause age and beyond, enabling them to create a handmade wardrobe that fits their bodies and their lives, without the hassle of adapting patterns designed for much younger bodies.

Unlike most sewing patterns, Style Falcon patterns are drafted for a mature figure - not a youthful hourglass figure. That means:

• Little bust-to-waist definition

• Lower bust points, for a “C” to “D” cup

• More room at the tummy, hip and sleeve bicep

• Center-back seams, with rounded back and forward shoulder shaping

• For people about 5’4” (about 163 cm)

See the sizing chart for a list of body measurements and finished measurements for this pattern.

About the Convex Dress

The Convex Dress is grown-up and playful at the same time. A blend of fabrics on the skirt creates eye-catching whimsy and a bubble shape, finishing just below the knee. The cuffed and faced bodice adds elegance. Gathers at the bust help you get a great fit. Two neckline options let you mirror the curvy skirt shape or create a more classic look up top. No matter which view you choose, the jersey bodice with three-quarter sleeves never sacrifices comfort for style.

The Convex Dress is an Intermediate sewing project. View A with the raglan sleeve requires a little more sewing skill than View B with the set-in sleeve.

Fabric Choices

The Convex Dress is just the thing for a party in luxe stretch fabrics, or for a day out in easy-wearing knits. Make it all out of the same light knit fabric, or try color-blocking the skirt with a different knit or even a woven fabric. Whether you dress it up or down, you'll make a stylish statement. See the materials chart for a list of everything you'll need.
