Sewing pattern by Merchant & Mills for a flared dress, just below the knee, with small neat shoulder and shallow rounded neckline. With the option of a button through back or a simple slip over the head. The Trapeze is so easy to make and so easy to wear. 

Skill level: beginner. Seam allowances are included in the pattern at 1.5cm, unless otherwise stated. This is a multi-size paper pattern in an envelope, including sizes UK 8 – 18.

Suitable for linen, cotton and light wool tweed fabrics.

You will also need: interfacing (90cm/35½” wide); 10 x 20 - 23mm buttons (for the top you will need 6 buttons).
