If you'd like Lakes Makerie in-house large format printing ($3/page), select the appropriate variant. Each size of the Sienna Dress is an individual file because of the pintuck marks, so we can only print one size at a time. We do not print the instructions, only the large format pattern pages. You'll be able to print the instructions at home on US printer paper if you'd like (or just view them from your device). Your pattern will be folded for shipping, or rolled for local pickup.
