Flora is a multi-sized sewing pattern from UK 2-24 / US 00-20 (dressmakers' B cup*) and UK 16-38 / US 12-34 (dressmakers' D cup*). *Please note - dressmaker's cup sizes have absolutely nothing in common with bra sizes! Dressmaker's cup sizes relate to the ratio between your high bust and full bust measurements, whereas your bra size relates to the ratio between your full bust and under bust measurements. A dressmaker's B cup indicates that the full bust that is 2" larger than the high bust, while a dressmaker's D cup indicates that the full bust that is 4" larger than the high bust.

However, stable fabrics will work beautifully too such as quilting cotton, lawn, batiste, shirting, voile, linen and broderie Anglaise. For our samples, we used a blue floral Viscose & white Viscose Marocain from Rainbow Fabrics and a green silk from Goldhawk Road (years ago!).
