Komodo Triangle Dress

Regular price £10.00

The Komodo Triangle Dress is short and swingy, and so easy to make it can become addictive!  The real joy of this pattern is that it only has one piece, and a mere three seams: it'll take you longer to choose the fabric than it will to sew it up!

FIT
The dress is cut on the bias and fitted through the chest and shoulders, sloping gently out to a flattering fullness at the hem.

VARIATIONS
Cut shorter for a swingy top or tunic. Or why not try one of our free pattern hacks:

LEVEL
Very easy, very quick for all!

FABRIC
The simple shape is just crying out for some statement fabric - a bold print, a laser cut-out or a striking colour. Any weight of fabric will work to different effect: stiffer fabrics will emphasise the cone-like shape, whilst lighter weights will give you more swish.

You will need 140cm/11/2 yards square of fabric.  As this pattern is cut on the bias, take a look at the lay plan before you buy.

We used a laser-cut cotton from Joel & Son Fabrics - read more about it here

1x Instructions pour le patron

3x Patrons dans les formats A0, A4 et US Letter  

*Lisez attentivement les instructions qui suivent avant d’imprimer votre patron !*

POUR LES FORMATS A4 / US LETTER : il est indispensable d’imprimer votre patron à 100%, sinon la taille ne sera pas correcte. Vos paramètres d'impression doivent être "pleine échelle" "100%", "taille réelle" ou un paramètre équivalent selon votre logiciel d'impression.

Il y a deux carrés de test sur la première page de chaque patron : un carré de 5 cm et un carré de 2 pouces. N'imprimez d'abord que cette page et vérifiez que votre carré est bien à la bonne taille, avant d'imprimer le reste du patron.

POUR LE FORMAT A0 : suivez les instructions données par votre imprimeur. Des services sont également disponibles en ligne.
