Sizing: This pattern comes in UK sizes 4 to 18. Chose your size by comparing your body measurements to the chart listed in the images. 

Fabric Requirements: We recommend using a mid-weight woven fabric with little to no stretch. 

For the midi version you can opt for a soft, drapey fabric for a fluid silhouette, or something with a drier hand for more structure. Suitable options include cotton gabardine, lyocell twill, linen or lightweight wool suiting. 

For the mini version, heavier fabrics such as denim or jacquard also work well and bring added structure to the silhouette.

Please allow 5% extra for shrinkage.

Fabric requirements are listed in the images. 

You will also need 30cm of lining fabric for pocket bags, some lightweight fusible interfacing, a #3 close ended zip, matching sewing thread and topstitching thread.
