I have used this pattern in my sewing business for at least 10 years, but this time I downloaded the digital file. I was delighted to see there was some thought put into this, and as a consequence, a lot of work went into creating these digital files. Every size is on its own layer, making it simple and fast to display a single size and copy them over. Truly Useful!!!!
Thank you Jalie for your continued commitment to excellence.

I really like the pattern, as do Jalie's others. I made a roller skating dress, and I slightly altered the back and skirt. The pattern is perfect as a base. With as many layers of fabric as we have, I would sew a size larger, as the stretch is limited.

I made this for an adult aerialist for a lyra performance. The pattern instructions were easy to follow, despite my being a novice sewist. Two things I will change when I remake it:
1) The neckline is too low. This leotard is for super flexible performers. If your performer reaches overhead and arches their back, they may put on an inappropriate peep show. I had already cut the pattern so I added a one inch row of stretch sequins just above the sweetheart line. But honestly it needed to go even higher.
2) The leg line is quite high. I would lower it significantly next time. With this cut it will creep up, even with the elastic around the legs. My performer also had a curvy backside, and the coverage she prefers just wasn't there.

I also made a few modifications from the beginning, to include lining the full bodice in shaper mesh and creating pockets for modesty inserts at the bust.

Pattern is super eay to follow , and very amenable to modification/creativity! I will say the neckline falls slightly lower than I prefer- but this is easy to adjust.

I chose this pattern because my skater wanted a sweetheart neckline and required a complicated combination of fabric layering and reverse applique. Thinking about the challenge was worse than doing it. Slept on it a good few nights and it all became clear what I had to do. Only major fitting issue was the sleeve, it needed to be shorter and tighter, then tighter some more from elbow to wrist. Also raised the armsyce.
