This is a multi-size PDF pattern including sizes 6 – 18. This PDF gives you the tiled (33 x A4 pages) and A0 (copy shop) versions. The tiled version is compatible with US letter paper.
Suitable fabrics:
3-6oz linen, cotton poplin, cotton lawn, cotton double gauze, Indian handlooms, cotton chambray, Tencel, hemp/cotton blends. Do not choose anything too heavy, as the back is lower than the front it will pull down making it uncomfortable at the neck!
