Victoria dress & jumpsuit

See the fabric & supplies requirements chart among the pictures.

SUPPLIES:

• Fabric: light- to medium weight knit fabrics, for example cotton/lycra or jersey. The pattern is constructed for fabric with at least 30% stretch. Have a look at the stretch guide in the pattern and evaluate your fabric.

• Optional: Horsehair braid, 2,5 cm (1”) wide. The length is specified in the fabric & supplies chart.

• Shank buttons, approx. 3-6, depending on size.

• Round elastic or hairbands, approx. 1 mm (max 1/16”) wide. Or sew your own rouleau loops in jersey (included in pattern).

• Aqua glue marker, not necessary but very useful.

• Sewing machine with a stretch needle. An overlocker/serger can also be used for most of the
steps, but you don’t need to have one.

See the size guide among the pictures.

Measure the child and choose a size based on her chest width and height. For a perfect fit I recommend that you choose a size which has a finished garment chest width that is 2 cm less than the child’s current chest width.

It’s perfectly all right to mix sizes and for example sew size 116 in the bodice, but size 128 in the skirt/pants, just don’t forget to also trace the waist/width from size 116 when tracing the pants/skirt.

Victoria is designed for fabrics with at least 30% stretch. There is a stretch guide in the pattern that you can use to evaluate if your fabric is suitable.
