DROP-WAIST DRESS PATTERN

This is a multi-size pattern – see options. 
Seam allowances are included in the pattern.

DIGITAL PDF
Upon purchase, you will instantly receive the digital pattern as PDF files in a zipped file, both via email and in our shop. Simply print, assemble, and you’re ready to start sewing.

The digital PDF pattern includes all sizes. Since we offer two size ranges tailored to different body types, both ranges are included in the zipped file. If your measurements fall between the two size ranges, we've added size L to the XL-3XL range, marked in grey for easy identification.

The digital PDF patterns are layered, allowing you to print individual sizes if needed. We provide instructions on how to print on both A4 and US Letter paper sizes  here, here and here. If you'd prefer to have the large-scale A0 version printed professionally, our customers have recommended their favourite independent print services for PDF patterns here.
