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 Two-hour Dress
Do you have about two hours and about two yards or meters of fabric? You can make this dress! This light knit dress returns designer results - and pockets - with minimal effort.
Or make an elevated T-shirt top to wear with any bottoms.
Sew either up after lunch and wear it to dinner, a concert - anywhere life takes you.
The dress and the top both offer trendy square necklines, princess seams, back darts and elbow-length sleeves.
The dress has slouchy pockets and a split hem below the knee for lightness and twirlability
The top has a slight handkerchief hem that hits at the hip, perfect for pairing with any pant or skirt.
Fabric Choices
Choose light knits for the Two-hour Dress, such as jersey or ITY. Wider fabric is recommended. See the materials chart for a list of everything sewers need to get started.
