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

– PAPER (next working day dispatch on orders and FREE UK delivery over £50)

Suggested fabrics: Light- to mid-weight knit fabrics such as jersey, ITY, Liverpool knit, double knit, or ponte with at least 25% stretch both horizontally and vertically, with two exceptions. For the relaxed bodice, at least 25% stretch horizontally, and at least 10% vertically. For the A-line maxi skirt, 0-10% lengthwise stretch is ideal.

If you are lining your bodice (for the square neckline, optional for all others), you can use the same fabric for the lining, or a lighter weight knit with the same amount of stretch.

Sizing: US 0 – 16 or US 12 – 32 (approx. UK 8 – 18 or UK 14 – 34, based on our standardised size chart) in three cup sizes (C/D, E/F, G/H). Please also check the designer’s size charts and finished garment measurements.

Note: The 0-16 and 12-32 size ranges were developed separately. The 0-16 range differs from the 12-32 range in the following ways: the bust darts are slightly higher, there is less ease at the waist and hip, the waist is slightly lower, the front length is slightly shorter, and in some cases the side seams are slightly straighter.

Notions: Ballpoint or stretch needle; twin needle (optional for hem); lightweight stretch interfacing (turtleneck only, optional) // For elasticated waistband: 1" (2.5 cm) wide elastic // Optional: clear elastic for shoulder seams, slash pocket openings, and/or waist seam; fusible hem tape.
