I compared my original Be Confident pattern pieces to the newly revised pieces. I found that the shape of the high-low skirt had been modified. It now has a more gentle slope from the front to the back.
The length of the tunic length skirt was not changed much - it is just a tiny bit shorter. I'm 5' tall and did not remove any length from the skirt. I did remove length from the bodice.
The Be Confident does have a full circle skirt. Which means it is perfect for doing some twirling!
As an adult, I think we forgot how fun it can be to let loose and go for a spin.
I forgot how dizzying it could be.
The bodice is intended to end at your natural waist. I'm 5' tall and I removed 2.5" in length from the bodice. I recommend measuring yourself to determine if you need to shorten or lengthen the bodice.
I used a slinky lightweight knit for this Be Confident and the wind was able to blow my skirt around.
If you already own the Be Confident, you will get an email with the updated pattern. If you don't already own it, now's a great time to buy it at the price of $3.85. In addition, there is a site-wide back to school sale. All patterns are 40% off - no code needed! Shop all patterns HERE!

And here's a few photos of an earlier version I made. This was the looser fit bodice.
