Elbe Textiles Sewing Pattern - Homme Wrap Dress | Jumpsuit (B Cup)

About the Homme Wrap Dress | Jumpsuit

This is such a versatile and effortlessly chic pattern.  Both Dress and Jumpsuit views feature an elasticated waistband and a darted bodice that can be wrapped around the waist or tied in a bow at the front.  The bodice is attached to the back of the pants or skirt (and half of the front), but there is a gap at the centre front where the ties overlap.  Depending how you tie it (as per the images), there may be a little skin showing at the front.  

• The wide leg jumpsuit comes with inseam pockets and finishes at the ankle
• The dress has an A Line skirt finishing below the knee

This pattern has been drafted for a height of 5’7

It’s recommended to make a toile first in an inexpensive fabric to work out any fitting alterations you may need, before cutting into your chosen fabric.

The Fabric

Medium weight woven fabrics with good drape. Tencel, rayon, washed linen, silk noil, soft cottons etc.

Please note: If you’re using a patterned fabric with a repeat that you’d like to match, you may need more fabric than what is suggested above. Use your discretion.

Please ensure your fabric is washed and pressed before cutting out your pattern pieces.
