Skill level:
This pattern is labelled as beginner/intermediate, due to the skills needed to apply bias binding, create gathers, sew darts and hand stitch a hook and eye closure. However I have included detailed instructions on how to create the gather and insert the bias binding so if you are a beginner with some experience and want something a little more challenging, just take it slow and don't rush it, and always make a sample before the final garment!
A basic knowledge of how to use a sewing pattern, and basic sewing machine knowledge is needed for this pattern.

Please note, some files will download as .zip files. You will need to unzip the files before using. On an apple computer you can double click the zipped file, and this will open a new folder that contains the patterns.
On a windows computer you will need to right click on the .zip folder, and click "extract all".
This is a PDF file, and therefore will need to be opened in a programme that accepts pdf format. Adobe reader works well and can be downloaded online completely free for windows/mac! "Preview" also works well on Apple Mac computers.
You only need to print the files that are relevant to you.
For example, if you are a UK customer and print on an A4 sized printer, you will want to download both A4 files, but can ignore the US Letter sized files.
If you are a UK customer and want to print your pattern file at a printshop in large format, download the A0 printshop file, to print at a printshop, and then download the A4 pattern and instruction file for your instructions.

Fabric and notions:
This pattern has been designed for light-medium weight woven fabric with some drape.You could also use woven fabric with a small amount of stretch such as stretch peachskin for this dress. (Due to the pattern being so large, I only recommend using fabrics with a large width, such as
150cm/59” width fabrics.)
Fabrics that works well are viscose, crepe, crepe-de-chine,peachskin etc.
You will need:
- Main fabric
- 12mm / ½ “ bias binding
- Hook and eye closure
For this pattern you will need upto 160cm/1.75 yards of 150cm/59'' width fabric (based on the largest size) or upto 184cm/2.1 yards of 130cm/51.2'' fabric.
.............................................................................................................................................................................
Sizing:
This pattern is sized for UK sizes 4 - 18 (US sizes 0-14). Included in the PDF (and the product images) is a size chart, so you can work out your best fitting size based on the chart. Please sew based on your measurements rather than your normal store bought size.
Please note - both the US letter and A4 patterns are written in UK sizing and you should determine which size to cut based on your UK size measurements.

Extra info:
Please sew a test sample before using your final fabric, (in a similar fabric to that of your final fabric) to ensure a good fit, and to allow for any alterations needed before sewing the final garment.
