This sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:

– PDF (available to download immediately after purchase). What is a PDF?

– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop (We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these. The PDF files will be emailed immediately after purchase, and the A0 pattern sheets will be dispatched next working day). What is Copy Shop?

Note: Pieces are not provided for the skirts and ruffles. You cut these pieces (all rectangles) directly from your fabric using dimensions provided in the instructions.

Suggested fabrics: Due to the gathering and ruffles, the designer recommends a lightweight non-stretch woven fabric with a crisp body. Fabrics such as cotton lawn or poplin or lightweight linen will work best to achieve the desired volume. If you choose to use a fabric with more drape, such as a rayon, the design will hang closer to the body resulting in a slightly different silhouette.

Fabric requirements: Fabric amounts account for all sleeve lengths. If you plan to add any bonus ruffles, purchase an extra 5/8 yd (0.6 m). Additional fabric may be required for print matching.
