Description
With this pattern, you can sew an airy, loose-fitting dress or tunic with seam pockets and a side slit.
Body Measurement Chart
The following table is for size selection. The measurement of the chest circumference is crucial for choosing the correct size. If your hip measurement is larger than your bust measurement, you can adjust the pattern according to our tutorial. This adjustment is only necessary if you need more than one size larger, as the pattern flares out towards the bottom.
