Buy the Sydney Dress Extension Pack sewing pattern from Style Arc. This extension pack can be used on its own as a standalone pattern, or in conjunction with the bodice or skirt from the original .
Sydney is a calf length dress with a cocoon shape. The pack includes three bodice options and three sleeve options. But note the new sleeve options only work with the new bodice options; they will not work with the original Sydney bodice. The new skirt has less volume than the original and optional pockets.
Note: Style Arc patterns are suited to a more confident maker. The written instructions are not illustrated at each step.
