The Kielo Wrap Dress or Jumpsuit - 19th August 2023

The Kielo dress and jumpsuit are wonderfully casual, yet stylish pieces of clothing!

You can sew both variations either with or without sleeves.

The dress has a neckband, and a vent at the back hem to add room for movement.

The armholes of a sleeveless version are finished with a bias binding. There is a vent with a button closure at the back of the jumpsuit, and its neckline is finished with a facing.

The Named Clothing pattern is included in the workshop price
