- Cup Sizes Included – B, C, D, DD (E)

PATTERN OPTIONS.
FABRIC REQUIREMENTS.
Suitable Fabrics: Jersey knit fabrics – approx weight of 210 – 250 gsm – with some degree of drape are BEST with at least 50% stretch across and 25% stretch going down the fabric. Medium weight fabric that holds folded pleats well is IDEAL.
When purchasing fabric pleat some of the length and then drape it around you to see if they hold in place. Any fabric that is light weight/slippery/shiny will not hold and it will drop down on itself.
- Double Knit
- Ponte De Roma
- Polyester Jersey Knit – (Liverpool)
- Light Weight Scuba Knit
- Jersey Crepe

Pleats across the front? Yes, yes, yes! So flattering. I absolutely love everything about this dress. Pattern includes drafted cup sizes for easy fit. The instructions are well written. This dress is perfect for business, special events and holiday’s too!

Camelia is sensational and makes me feel sensational. The attention to detail both in ensuring the perfect fit is attained and the design features (pleats and asymetrical hem) has made this a real favourite in my pattern library and wardrobe.

Great special occasion pattern. Very flattering. I love asymmetrical pleats – they hide a multitude of sins. A favourite dress.
