Sizing:


This pattern is available in UK sizes 4-18 or 16-32. Please see attached images for sizing details and measurements.


...........................................................................................


Skill level:


This pattern is labelled as intermediate. This is due to the slightly more tailored style of collar, however the instructions booklet do go into depth on this, so a confident beginner with a few projects under their belt could tackle this project too!


A basic knowledge of how to use a sewing pattern, and basic sewing machine knowledge is needed for this pattern.


...........................................................................................


Fabric and notions:


This pattern has been designed for light-medium weight woven fabric with little to no stretch. We recommend something with a nice structure and nothing too light. You want it to have a little bit of weight to support the button stand and collar. Crisp cottons of a shirting weight, cotton twill, light-weight denim and chambray, linen and linen blends, Tencel, and suitings are all perfect for this dress. Avoid lightweight drapey fabrics like viscose or crepe.

Absolutely loved the style!!! Just had to make it

When I saw this pattern, I knew j just had to buy it. It's my style all over. However, as I wanted it to fit perfectly, I made several toiles, 4 in fact. I'm a petite frame with a larger bust so I had to perform a FBA. Eventually, I used a different method to get the bust fit correct and I must admit, it made the dress all the more appealing. I'm not sure I like the way the skirt flares out from the hips, I think I may taper the pattern pieces next time. On the whole 10 out of 10. Definitely recommend this pattern. Definitely NOT for a beginner though

Diana dress

I like this pattern very much but Im not experienced enough to put sleeves in the dress, and I have never done a tailored collar.
