I am Diana, a playsuit or a pleated dress. You can make me with short sleeves or sleeveless. In each of my versions, I feature a shawl collar and a double-breasted closure that finishes at the small hips. The narrow bodice panels lengthen my silhouette. In the playsuit version, I have in-seam pockets. In the dress version, my pleated skirt starts from the cutout at the small hips. Depending on the fabrics used I can follow you on relaxed outings or dressed up parties.
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.
