Skill level - experienced.
This is a paper pattern and includes sizes 6 to 18. All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.
Suitable fabrics
Waxed cotton (lined or unlined), tweed, woollens, cotton canvas, waterproof cottons or linens. Using a fabric such as waxed cotton will allow it to retain its structural shape, but it will look just as good in a softer fabric such as tencel twill.
For the lining: brushed cotton, cotton poplin, or a medium-weight viscose or acetate lining.
Trim required
1 x matching thread, 6 x buttons measuring between 17 and 22 mm, 2 metres of cord of your choice, .75 metre of fusible interfacing (for the lined version only) and 15 cm of ribbing for the neckline (choose a ribbing fabric that stretches by half, i.e. a 10 cm piece that stretches to 15 cm).
