{"product_id":"folkwear-246-calico-day-dress","title":"Folkwear 246 Calico Day Dress","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuy the 246 Calico Day Dress sewing pattern from Folkwear. Turn-of-the-century women lingered over breakfast in this soft, pleated house dress before struggling into their corsets. The buttoned front lining and back princess seams pull in the dress, creating a fitted bodice, while pleats at the centre front and back are held in place with waist ties and a simple square collar. Rounded yokes finished with ruffles complete the traditional dress, but may be omitted for a simpler version. Full sleeves are gathered at the top and finished with buttoned cuffs. The skirt, fitted over the hips, falls to a wide flounce at the ankle. The pattern may also be cut in a contemporary street length or as a blouse. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSewing level:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIntermediate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis sewing pattern is available to buy in the following formats:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e(available to download immediately after purchase).\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is a \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thefoldline.com\/pages\/how-to-buy-sewing-patterns\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePDF\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cb\u003e?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e– PDF pattern + Printed A0 copy shop\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e(We print out the A0 pattern sheets, but you’ll need to download the digital instructions, as we don’t print these.
