There is a lengthen line on the pattern if you would like to extend it into a dress. Merchant & Mills extended theirs by 40cm, meaning 80cm more fabric was needed. They suggest going for an oversized fit if making the dress as the side seams are completely straight.
Trims required: Matching thread, 10cm ribbing or a finished ribbing.
Skill Level: Suitable for a Beginner.
The seam allowance is included in the pattern.
