From TheCraftofClothes Etsy store:

The Lillypilly dress is zero waste. It uses woven fabric, cut in a simple A-line with a cowl neck, pockets and bound armholes. The dress pulls on over the head.

The dress can be made in three lengths according to the fabric width used (115cm, 130cm or 150cm/45", 51" or 59"). The zip pockets can be inseam or patch.

The cowl neck can be worn in three different ways: loose, folded and pinned with a brooch or gathered with a cord.

Sizes: 8-28 (to fit bust 87cm-137cm/34.25"-54"). Bust darts can be added for improved fit for large busts. There is 10cm (4") ease around the bust and the fit is loose around the waist and hips.

Suitable fabrics include medium weight soft wool, boiled wool, linen and cotton. Note that the wrong side will show in the cowl neck. Other possibilities might be stretch bengaline and ponte. Not suitable for fabrics with a nap, one-way designs, stripes and checks. Contrast or matching bias binding can be used for the armholes and patch pockets.

As with any pattern, it's recommended to make a toile first to check for any possible fitting issues.
