Description

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.

We have now included a seperate pattern to make the Factory as a top. 

All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.

Skill level - beginner.

Fabric suggestions - linen, linen blends, tencel, cotton chambray, very fine wool or corduroy.
Paper vs PDF

If you order a paper copy you will be sent a printed version of our pattern. If you select PDF, you are purchasing a digital file which will be stored on your account to be downloaded at any time. PDF's will include a tiled, an A0 copy shop file and your instructions. The tiled file can be used on any home printer and stuck together and is compatible with both A4 and US letter paper. Alternatively, you can send off the copy shop file to be printed full size; we can usually recommend someone in your area. If you are in the UK, we would recommend The Fold Line. The instructions can either be printed at home or simply follow along on your computer or phone. 
You will need

Matching thread.

Lightweight interfacing - 0.35M.

Inner pockets can be made in self or lining.
