I love this pattern! It has taken me months to finally get it right and it is such a lovely piece when worn! I can’t think of an outfit it wouldn’t go with, dress it up, dress it down, you will feel like you just stepped out of a Jane Austin novel!

There are a lot of photos and notes in the pattern to help you correctly follow the pattern and select the size that is best but here is a materials list to get you started.
