Fiona Sundress PDF Pattern

Description

PDF sewing pattern. This is a digital download, not a physical printed pattern.

Our lovely Fiona is a fitted button-up sundress with shoulder straps, princess seams, a straight cut skirt and fetching topstitched details. Wear it on its own during warm weather months, or layer it over tees and turtlenecks as the weather cools.

View A features a bra-friendly bodice and midi-length skirt with side slits. View B features crossed straps and a low back, with a mini or below knee-length skirt. All skirts and bodices are completely interchangeable so you can mix and match the Fiona of your dreams.
