Description

The Kielo dress and jumpsuit patterns offer a chic and comfortable style that you can easily make your own. Both variations can be sewn with or without sleeves, and the dress pattern includes a neckband and a vent at the back hem for ease of movement. The sleeveless version of the dress features armholes finished with bias binding. The jumpsuit pattern includes a vent with a button closure at the back and a neckline finished with a facing.

Fabric Suggestions

It is recommended to use a drapey yet sturdy jersey fabric that has about 30-50% stretch. However, be mindful that the garment already has a significant amount of volume, so using a fabric that is too stretchy or heavy can alter the proportions and cause the garment to lose its shape.

This pattern comes with plenty of ease. Choose your size according to the full bust measurement. The pattern is drafted for a 172 cm (5’8 in) tall person.
