THIS IS A DIGITAL PDF PATTERN, NO PHYSICAL PATTERN WILL BE SENT TO YOU.
SEWING LEVEL: Adventurous Beginner/Intermediate
SIZES: UK 4-30/US 0-26
See the 'sizing guide' image for measurements.
FABRIC SUGGESTIONS: This pattern is designed for medium weight wovens with good drape, such as medium weight crepe, light weight wools, linen blends, viscose/rayon blends. Wovens with light stretch. Lining should be lightweight.
FITTING TIPS
When choosing your size, please use your bust measurement as a guide. This way you will get an accurate fit in the bust and armholes, and can grade as necessary on the waist and hips. If you are in between two sizes I would suggest the size that is closest to your bust and then checking the finished measurements to compare the fit.
The Catarina dress is drafted on a B cup for sizes 4-16, and drafted on a C cup for sizes 18-30.
PATTERN INCLUDES:
Sewing instructions with clear pictures
A4 Print at home pattern
US letter Print at home pattern
A0 copy shop Pattern
Both A0 and A4 and US Letter Patterns are LAYERED PDF FILES. This is so you can only print the size that you need.
Using a PDF viewer, (I recommend Adobe Reader) go to the layers tab and then click the eye icon on the size you would like to print. For all the other sizes click on the eye icon to make it disappear and just leave the size you want. Please make sure you keep the annotations and tiling layer visible, so you can see all the pattern markings.
PRINT AT HOME
There is a separate file for A4 and US Letter size for you to print and stick
together at home. Please print at Actual size or 100% Scale. You can print out the test sheet (page 1) with a size guide for reference to start. You should not have to trim the pages to stick together.
COPY SHOP PRINT
This includes an A0 black and white PDF for printing. Take this PDF to the copy shop and ask them to print at 100% scale or actual size.
