002- Wrap Dress

Open Source - Zero Waste - Digital Sewing kit

CHARACTERISTICS

Wrap dress with a front pocket and removable tie knot.

This pattern is not conventional. 

It was designed in 2018 by Mylène L'Orguilloux @milan_avjc with the first intention to provide alternatives for home sewers to better optimize fabric consumption and reduce the waste usually produced when cutting a garment. It therefore results in a rectangle jigsaw-like pattern where all the pieces fit together without producing any fabric scraps.

SKILL LEVEL

This sewing pattern is suitable for beginner sewers and above.

It comes with a sew-along video recorded in French - subtitles in english.

Before downloading the digital kit, you can watch the video tutorial on youtube.

SIZE RANGE

This digital kit is not size inclusive as it only comes in 5 sizes. To choose the one that will fit you best, please refer to the hips measurements below. If you are hesitant between two sizes, choose the smallest. Emma (the model) wears a size 38.​

We aim to revise this pattern and develop a wider size range. Hopefully this will be possible in 2022.

If you're interested in getting involved in pattern or fit testing, please get in touch.
