A Note About Grading For This Pattern:

This pattern has been graded up  and down from the original size of 34 inch bust.   No redrafting of the pattern pieces has been done for the larger sizes.

 Sizes 44 bust through 54 bust may need alterations for length and neck width

A full bust adjustment may be necessary for sizes larger than the B cup for which the original pattern was drafted.

 Always sew a test garment to verify and alter fit before constructing the garment out of your final fabric.  

For USA customers - when I travel outside of the USA printed pattern sheets will be shipped directly to you, and the instructions sent via email as a PDF.
