Closet Core Patterns - Elodie Dress
About the Elodie Dress
Elodie is a modern take on a classic wrap dress. Romantic and flowy with multiple skirt and sleeve options, it’s equally appropriate at a park picnic or a special wedding.
Elodie features a softly flowing bodice, with release pleats under the bust and a dolman style sleeve. Choose between a short sleeve or a longer, more formal option that ends at the elbow. The skirt is swishy and voluminous and comes in three lengths, above the knee, midi or maxi, with optional patch pockets.
The Fabric
Your Elodie can be made in a wide variety of fabrics such as light to medium weight wovens like linen, cotton poplin, batiste, voile and chambray. For a more elegant or fluid effect select drapey wovens like silk, viscose, tencel or rayon challis.
