Sylvia Robe Kit

We have chosen three beautiful light weight woven fabrics for this kit: a sumptuously smooth Tencel Twill in a Dusty Olive shade, a vibrant Midnight Meadow print with a black background featuring a colourful print on a textured viscose crepe fabric and a bright Festival Bloom print with a pink background with deep shades of maroon flora on a smooth viscose lawn fabric.

This pattern has a size range of UK 0-30. Within that are two sub ranges of UK 6-20 (Dressmakers B-cup) and UK 18-30 (Dressmakers D-cup).

You will receive all the sizes and cup options in PDF format and you can select what range you would like printed out and sent with your kit.
