This is a digital PDF sewing pattern. After purchase, you will gain instant access to your downloads that include:
- Beginner-friendly, detailed, and illustrated instruction booklet (PDF)
- Multiple printing options. All files are layered which allow you to print only your selected size. Learn more here:

Tips:
- Fabrics with some drape create softer gathers throughout the bodice and skirt.
- Crisp fabrics emphasize the pin tucks and circular yoke.
- Heavier fabrics may make the gathered yoke (View C) more difficult to sew.
- This pattern is a great candidate for repurposed vintage bed sheets.

Required sewing level:
