This is the FREE VERSION of the Portia Party Dress. It includes everything you need to make the knee length option in knit fabrics only. It is not suitable for woven fabrics. If you wish you use woven fabrics, you will need to purchase the full version of the pattern.
This free knit version is more form fitting in its cut and just pulls on over the head. There are two styles to the back. You can either have it, so the back is completely open to the waist, or stitched half way up the back and then open to the neck. The back then fastens with either a ribbon or a thread loop around a single button.
