Note regarding Small/Medium/Large sizes for Free Patterns. These patterns are drafted for UK sizes 8/14/20. As the patterns are straightforward it is sufficient to add or subtract 1/2" at the side seams to the bodice and skirt pieces to give you the in-between sizes. Just adjust the armhole curve a little.

It is always a good idea to cut with a generous seam allowance then you have your options open for fitting.
