Open Back Dolman | Adult Size S0c-L1c | Beginner Level Sewing Pattern

$5.99

About:

The Open Back Dolman is flattering and sexy with the open back. Did I mention the opening can be as big or as small as YOU WANT!

Rain City's Open Back Dolman fits loose through the bust, slightly loose on your belly and then tight at the hips where there is negative ease.

The instruction file includes the Finished Measurement Chart so that you can compare your measurements and be able to determine how much negative ease (if any) you prefer. From there you can choose the best size for your style!

Softly draping light weight knit fabrics are going to get you a cool shirt to wear the next time you stretch out on your yoga mat. 

Stiffly draping medium+ weight knit fabrics are going to create for you a warm and cozy sweater (long sleeves? yes, please!) to curl up with a good book and hot cup of coffee.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a digital product, not a finished garment, and cannot be returned/refunded. This is a beginner level PDF sewing pattern for knit fabrics.
