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 if purchasing copy shop printing for sizes 18-28: One of the pattern pieces has been split (to fit on the A0 sheet) and will need to be joined together.

Suggested fabrics: Medium weight dress weight wovens, sanded twill, linen, 6-9 oz. denim, corduroy, tencel and tencel/linen. The more structured the fabric the more sculptural your dress or top will look. If you are using a heavier fabric you may want to use a lighter weight cloth for the under collar and front facings to reduce bulk.
