Get ready to swish! The Daring Duster brings the drama with a clever split back and side vents for maximum liftoff. The Daring Duster also features a back double yoke, pockets, and two options to make a long straight-cut gilet vest or jacket.
Always hot? Try View A - it's a straight-cut long vest with bound edges and patch pockets. Or opt for View B - a more tailored jacket look, with side seam pockets, a collar and vented cuffed sleeves.
Either way, you’ll add a layer of fabulousness to any outfit.
See images for full size chart and fabric requirements.
Difficulty: suitable for intermediate and advanced sewers.

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)
