Notes	This is a beautiful pattern. The fabric is interlock jersey and is quite heavy - the pattern worked perfectly with it. I did need to raise the waistband to the smallest part of my waist, which made a big difference to the fit and style of the dress. I put a hook and thread loop closure at the top of the zipper, and did not need to finish the seams, as they don’t fray. I left them 10cm so they lay flat. I made this a few years ago and it is still stylish but I can always replace the sleeves or just remove the lower sleeve if I want a change.
