Balcombe Dress PDF
Description
The Balcombe is all about comfort, with its soft gathers over the bust, flutter sleeves and gently elasticated waist. It can be made up in any light fabric.
Wear it to the office with flats or pop it over your swimwear for the beach. Add in-seam pockets, side slits, or even omit the sleeves and bind the armholes to change things up.

No Paper Trimming Needed and Fewer Sheets of Paper
Our PDF sewing patterns come in a no-trim format, meaning you simply tape the pieces of paper together at their edges without any trimming of the paper required. This saves a lot of time and hassle and also reduces paper and ink usage, so its better for both the environment and your wallet.
