The Dahlia bolero is a layering piece perfect to accompany and elevate a pre-existing wardrobe. It features asymmetrically shirred sleeves and is fastened in the centre front with some ties created from bias binding. It has been designed with a slightly shorter shoulder seam to make sure the puff sleeves do not accentuate the width of the shoulders.

Fabric and Material Recommendations
Fabric and Material Recommendations
The fabric must be woven or non-stretch. Something flowy and very lightweight is recommended to keep the sleeves appropriately shirred and the body not too thick, as it is double layered. Natural fabrics are also recommended for breathability.
A plain cotton lawn was used in the sample, about 70gsm.
Weight: Ideally 60-100gsm.

Why can I not see the layers option?
If you are on the app version of Adobe Acrobat, it does not currently support the layers feature; it is only available on desktop.
It says "Read-only" when I try to select the layers. What do I do?
Sometimes Acrobat displays this message. Just click "OK" and then try to select it again, it should work.
