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 if purchasing copy shop printing: Some of the pattern pieces have been split (to fit on the A0 sheets) and will need to be joined together. Also, the pattern will show both the cutting lines (in black) and stitching lines (in pale grey).

Suggested fabrics: Light to mid-weight fabrics with a good amount of drape such as linen, linen blends, cotton, gauze or chambray. For a softer silhouette, consider sateen, silk (crepe de chine or habotai) or viscose (rayon), though these fabrics are a little trickier to sew, so be careful if you are a beginner.

Fabric requirements: You will require more fabric if lengthening.
