Nursing Option for Cape Dress

The cape dress pattern offers the option to have a nursing opening in the bodice under its cape. Simplifying the usage for nursing, there are no extra closures, just the pieces overlapping and covered by the cape. Closures can be added according to personal taste.
Select the nursing option in the cape dress pattern to include it in the pattern.
