FABRIC

Please refer to the FABRIC REQUIREMENT CHART as one of the last images on this product listing. You can magnify this image if viewing it on a mobile phone whilst in a fabric store.

The Pleat back shirt dress is perfect for COTTON POPLIN.
We also recommend silk satin (that presses well into a pleat).

Other light to mid weight WOVEN FABRIC such as cotton broadcloth and linen also work well.

DIFFICULTY

 INTERMEDIATE

TUTORIALS

Video tutorial support on how to attach the yoke using the Burrito method, how to complete a Full Bust Adjustment (FBA), adding snap fasteners.

Please refer "Size & FItting" tab for more info on bust fit.

 

SIZE & FITTING

Size bundles are offered in packs of 4 to minimise printing where possible yet still offer options for grading between sizes.

Small - (NZ/AU/UK 6-8-10-12  | US 2-4-6-8)                    
Medium - (NZ/AU/UK 10-12-14-16  | US 6-8-10-12)       
Large - (NZ/AU/UK 14-16-18-20  | US 10-12-14-16)

Designed for a "C" cup there is a VIDEO TUTORIAL on how to complete an easy FBA (Full bust adjustment) for larger busts (which is much easier than you think)! Refer the finished bust measures compared with your own chest measures. There should be at least 8cm ease (extra in the finished measures) for a comfortable fit.

MIX & MATCH

This pattern is compatible with the D-I-Y (Design-It-Yourself) range of sleeve extensions.
Upgrade your pattern by adding new sleeves for a different look at minimal cost.

WHAT DO I GET WITH MY PURCHASE?

Please note you are purchasing a digital pattern that will be sent directly to your email inbox after payment. You can print this pattern at home on A4 or US letter-sized paper or take it to a print shop for large scale printing (AO size). *You will not receive a hard copy printed pattern.*

Instant download available immediately after checkout includes:

1. Instructions

2. PAH Pattern file (PAH=Print at home)
For printing in A4 or US Letter on a home printer. Printing at home is the most cost-effective, and sticking your pattern tiles together to make your full size pattern is easy. Further information for printing at home can be found in our Resources section here. 

3. AO Pattern file
AO is a large scale file designed to be printed at a Print Copy Shop. You cannot print this on your home printer as it is too big. If you choose to use this large file you will pay extra to have it printed but you do not have to stick anything together.

You can use the ADOBE LAYERS FEATURE to open the PAH pattern file and print only the size you need (and eliminate the "noise" of the unwanted sizes). You can also use the URL and bookmark links within the file to quickly access information and support. Download Adobe Reader for free (for Windows and Mac) here.

4. Video tutorial support for completing a professional yoke finish, adjusting fit around your bust (FBA) and adding snap fasteners.

great addition to bedroom decor, soft and lux
Color: Tie-dye Sage, Size: Throw(50"x60")
I purchased this for my daughter for a gift. The softness Is next level.. The quality is greater than I expected and feels lux. It's thick without being too hot. It's a beautiful addition to their bedroom decor. It had no weird smell or order, and fit just as described. Ive washed a couple times and its holding up great.

Soft and cozy
Color: Tie-dye Cream Beige, Size: Twin(60"x80")
Recieved last week. The texture is soft and warm. Love it so far. The beige color is a little more greige than I expected but it still goes well with my decor.

Amazing blanket. Definitely recommend!!😊
Color: Tie-dye Sage, Size: Twin(60"x80")
Best blanket ever. I got it for an Amazon a lightning deal for 55% off! It was only 22 dollars and this is the most comfortable blankets ever. It is very soft and it keeps me very warm. I would definitely recommend it, it's even more beautiful in person. It's very high quality, and it's lightweight but keeps you warm. Though I wish they would lower the price, because it's 70 dollars to buy another one. But still an amazing blanket, 5 stars for me!!! 😊😊🥰🥰😍😍🤗🤗💗💞

Fabulous and sooooo soft
Color: Tie-dye Khaki, Size: Throw(50"x60"), Color: Tie-dye Khaki, Size: Throw(50"x60")
This blanket is so extremely soft and cozy. The only reason I deducted a star was because the fur side and the velvety side aren’t sew together anywhere besides the edges/seams, so when I fold it it’s basically like 2 blankets just sewn together and not one blanket. When you lie with it and cover you, they sort of separate if that makes sense but it doesn’t bother us. It’s so comfy to have on the couch and while movie watching. The only time it sort of a pain is when I fold it. In saying that, I would buy again. The velvety side is a soft tan/beige and the fur side is creams, off white and variations of the tan/beiges. So lovely. You can see it next to a solid cream colored blanket I have that I also bought on Amazon. It matches well and I love it!
