True Bias Paper Sewing Pattern Lodo Dress

The Lodo pattern is an elevated take on a basic t shirt dress. It has a straight fit through the waist and hips and a slightly tapered hem to create a subtle cocoon shape. It has a flattering deep V neck at center front and an extended cap sleeve. Both the neckline and armholes are finished with a woven facing for stability and structure. View A has a hem that hits at mid calf with a slit at center back for moveability. View B has a hem that hits a couple of inches above the knee. Suggested dress fabrics include medium weight stable knit fabric with an approximate 25 percent stretch such as ponte, cotton interlock, and lightweight scuba. Suggested facing fabrics include half a yard of medium weight woven fabric such as quilting cotton and linen.
