Is all ready for your layering requirements
With a pleated skirt and a low-cut bodice that zips up the front, the pinafore is great for layering but keeps the flow of your natural curves. You can also opt for a high necked bodice, keeping that zip front and skirt - but shortened by a good few inches - now you have a dress that you can still layer, and unzip a little to the bust point if you are feeling risqué.
Finally, if you just don’t fancy either bodice with your fabric choice, add the waistband so you can just make a skirt!
