Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before you begin, ensure you have measured yourself accurately to confirm that the K5 size range (8-16) is the correct fit for your project. Keep the pattern pieces in a cool, dry place to prevent folding or tearing. To care for your final garment, always refer to the care instructions of the specific fabric you have chosen, as the pattern itself serves as a template and does not dictate the final laundry requirements of the finished dress.
