I made 2 Sydneys based on the extension pack.
My first was bodice B and sleeve A in a linen/viscose. I’m a standard RTW size 14 and made this in a Style Arc size 12. I forgot to reduce length as I’m 5’4″ so ended up removing the bottom band as I thought it looked too long.
The second one was made in a bright pink linen with the short sleeve.
This is a very easy to wear pattern. Dress it up or down.

Loved this pattern . Great roomy summer dress with excellent fit. I am delighted to be able to sew with woven fabrics again, after years of only being able to get a good fit with knits. With the extension pack I will be able to make this pattern many times. Thankyou Stylearc

This is a great style, love the slimmer version, with different sleeve and bodice options. Goes together really nicely, a perfect dress for me.
