Notes	S4003 was a free pattern when I got it and I absolutely love it. A great summer dress, mix and match fabrics, potential plus for colour blocking. I have made two, the first to try fit and construction methods and then this one. It has an underlined skirt and a fully lined bodice. After bodice and waist band construction, but before the collar and back seam zip I sewed the inner band lining to the bodice and then the skirt from underneath enclose the seam. this has made it really neat inside and I finished the collar, mostly by hand for the lower seam to attach the collar lining. No instructions were available but I am glad I worked out a neat way to finish it nicely inside and out. Lovely to wear, cool and comfortable.
