Hi Vicky,
The pleated skirt is only for the upgraded option in our Etsy store.
The Pattern is supposed to be free but it is $10.00 on Esty. The free download on this page is the Jeanette Dress. I don’t see a link for free pattern for the Anne Dress. Please help.
Hi Bonnie,
There was an issue with the link a week ago. We have changed and fixed that by publishing the pattern in our facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1780537438827044/
Please, keep in mind that the dress is a free one size pattern. The one in Etsy is the multi size and illustrated printable sewing tutorial one for people who like to upgrade their options.
I also have problem because i don’t have FaceBook, Joe Can i download It?
