- Please note that the first printing of this pattern contained an error in the cutting instructions for the small size package only (sizes 6M-4). The cutting instructions for piece #4, the Dress Bottom Panel, View A should read cut 4 instead of cut 2 on fold. This error has been corrected in subsequent printings.
- Please note that the yardage requirements printed on the pattern envelope in the first printing contained a minor error. As printed, the fabric requirements for View A, Fabric A will give you sufficient yardage to make the dress with a single-thickness hem.
If you have already purchased yardage, you can follow the directions for the View B hem to make a single-thickness hem. Or you can purchase additional yardage in order to make the double-thickness hem as discussed in the instructions for View A. Refer to the chart below for the additional yardage needed to make the double-thickness hem:
