The bodice is a high, round neck with a keyhole back opening and features a double wrap waist tie (and pockets, of course!). The hem can be finished with a tiered, gathered panel for extra twirlability.

Difficulty
This pattern is suitable for confident and beginner sewers. The manual includes tips and tricks for shirring as well as easier finishing options if you’re not comfortable with shirring.
Fabric
The Audrey pattern is designed for a mid to lightweight fabric such as a linen or compact cotton. However you can make it in whatever woven fabric you like depending on the look you’re going for.
Just remember, the stiffer the fabric, the puffier the sleeve.
Also, if you have a heavier/thicker fabric, ensure to use a lighter lining for the neck facing and waist tie/cuff tie pieces.
