Skill level: •Confident Begginer to Intermediate- The bodice construction is more detailed since it is fully lined (enclosing the sleeves and back panel requires a few extra steps). Inserting elastic in both the sleeves and back panel, as well as gathering and fitting a woven garment, may be more challenging for a true beginner. Suggested Fabrics: •Woven apparel fabrics with drape. If you use fabric with less drape such as 100% cotton, it will fit more boxy and stiff. •Rayon challis, voile, lawn, batiste, silk crepe, rayon crepe, chiffon, chambray, linen, air woven, etc. Notions: •3/8″ elastic for sleeves and back center panel (Note- if you prefer, you can shirr your back panel instead of using elastic). •Optional- Lightweight fusible interfacing (may be helpful if using a very lightweight fabric). •Basics: iron, marking tool, ruler, snips, thread, pins or clips, scissors or rotary cutter, hem gauge. 5 PDF sizes included (all files include layers): •Photo tutorial file: 32 pages. •Print at home, trimless format in sizes: •US (8.5″ x 11″) Pattern pieces: 43 pages. •A4 (8.25″ x 11.75″) Pattern pieces: 43 pages. •A0/Copy shop (33.1″ x 46.8″) There are 3 A0 pages. •Projector File with 2″ and 4cm measuring squares.
