The different pieces don’t overlap with each other. Once printed and assembled, simply cut the pattern at your size and start sewing.

Projection – 1 file with pattern pieces on white background and 1 file with pattern pieces on fuchsia background. Both files are layered.

The .zip file will be emailed to you upon payment and you will also be able to access the file anytime on your iampatterns.fr account.

You will need a computer to open the .zip file.

PAPER PATTERN

All seam allowances are included in the pattern.

The pattern is enclosed in an envelope. It contains the sewing pattern along with a step-by-step illustrated explanation guide.

The different pieces overlap with each other so you will need to trace the pattern on paper. If you prefer a ready-to-cut pattern, try the pdf version as pieces do not overlap with each other.

Size 36 to 46. See sizing guide below.

VERSIONS

1 top + 3 bottoms = 7 garments – We love this kind of math!
On top of being able to sew the top and bottoms as separates, you can combine them to make a playsuit, a jumpsuit and a dress. With this pattern you will be able to sew an entire summer wardrobe.

A: Top; B: Skirt; C: Shorts; D: Trousers; E: Dress; F: Playsuit; G: Jumpsuit

YARDAGE (in yards)

For versions E, F & G, we have broken down the yardages for the bodice and for the bottom of the garment. Calculate the total yardage for versions E, F & G by adding the fabric required for the bodice and the bottom of the garment in your size.

It isn’t possible to use a 55″ (140cm) wide fabric for a full circle skirt in sizes 46 to 52. Therefore, the skirt for those sizes features a lovely volume but isn’t a full circle skirt.

MEASUREMENT CHART (inches):

Height: 5’5” (1m65)
Cup: B

FINISHED GARMENT MEASUREMENTS (inc)

* From the neckline to the bottom of the garment on the center front.
**The garment’s length includes the waistband. To know the length for versions E, F and G add the length of the bodice and the length of the chosen bottom of the garment.

For versions F & G, to be able to slip into the garment, the garment’s bust measurement needs to be at least as large as your hips measurement.
