This is a very popular unisex flat-front, footed, tight pattern, designed by Travis Halsey, which is perfect to use for both formal performance and rehearsal. Each file includes 2 pattern sizes and can be cut as a footless tight as well. Please be sure to refer to the sizing chart as sizing varies between pattern styles.

DON'T FORGET! Foot Adjustment PDF
Patterns are in PDF format and will open and print to the correct size without any additional adjustment. There is no need to resize anything once you receive your file. There is a 3" reference square on each pattern to double check that the printing scale is correct once printed.

HELPFUL TIPS AND INFORMATION FOR YOUR DIGITAL FILES:

You can print from home using the program, Adobe Reader. If you do not have this program, it is a free download available for both PC and Mac computers. Open the pattern file using Adobe Reader, go to "Print," and select "Poster Print." The program will automatically slice your file into as many 8.5x11" sheets of paper as needed to fully print your pattern to scale. Be certain you keep the scale of printing at 100%. Changing the scale will yield an incorrect size. Once printed, arrange the pages and tape them together. If you prefer, you make print your file on a large scale printer at an office supply store instead.
