Version one closes with a beautiful bow at the back ( fully bra-friendly when tied the right way ). Version two closes with buttons at the centre back and includes two different options to create a higher or lower back cut-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can make Sofia with a simple gathered skirt or with three gathered tiers for more volume and for a chance to play with the print on your fabric - Sofia is a great one for stripes!

For a more structured look choose light to medium weight woven fabric such as cotton poplin, cotton lawn, linen, seersucker or broderie anglaise. Due to the gathered nature of the skirt we recommend avoiding anything too bulky. If you would like something softer you can opt for a viscose or crepe. You’ll need a lightweight cotton lawn for the bodice lining or you can also line in your main fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAvailable Formats\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sofia Dress is available in the following formats (just select the one you want from the drop down menu):\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDelivered Paper Pattern\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you opt for the printed paper pattern we'll print it on our in-house large format A0 printer and post it to your address.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note that we don’t print the instructions.
