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)        
X-Large - (NZ/AU/UK 18-20-22-24  | US 14-16-18-20)    

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.

VERY VERY HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED! WASTE OF MONEY!
Don't waste your money! The description states that the image is enlarged to show detail and that the actual item is smaller - BUT it does not tell you that you can't even tell the pendant is a paw print. I got three paws, with engraving, and the whole thing looks like a blob of gold nothing. As you would then expect you can not even see anything that is engraved! Why waste the time? If you are not going to be able to see it, why have it? I can't express deeply enough how extremely disappointing this necklace is. It is cheap and thin and very small. Of course, because it was engraved I can't return it. Buyer beware! Don't waste your time or money! This item is a huge rip off!

Great Quality and worth the price
I love my necklace as an the monogram is perfect but I'm giving it 4 stars because I've only worn it 3 times and the clasp does not close tight so each time I put it on I attach it in the mirror but this past week I noticed it was missing just an hour after I'd put it on and luckily I found it on the rug in front of my kitchen sink the next evening. I was so happy I'd found it that I wanted to wear it so I went into the bathroom to mack sure the clasp was shut tight and within 20 minutes it was missing again. I retraced my steps in my house for 30 minutes and can't find it so if you purchase one be sure the clasp is working, otherwise you may want to replace it. So sad and hope I find mine because it's so tiny and cute that I truly do like it.
