From the Pattern Designer:

Inspired by working women, with a dash of the Twenties. The Factory Dress slips over the head, features pockets and ready-rolled up sleeves. The Factory dress is ‘easy fit’ so use the bust measurement only for sizing. You also have the option of making it into a top with a small slit at the front.

All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.

Skill level – beginner.

Please note, size 8-18 is printed on paper and size 20-28 is printed on old-fashioned pattern tissue. This is due to a change in supplier.

Fabric suggestions – linen, linen blends, tencel, cotton chambray, very fine wool or corduroy.
