Closet Core Patterns | Elodie Wrap Dress

Elodie is a modern take on a classic wrap dress. Romantic and flowy with multiple skirt and sleeve options, it’s equally appropriate at a park picnic or a special wedding.

Elodie features a softly flowing bodice, with release pleats under the bust and a dolman style sleeve. Choose between a short sleeve or a longer, more formal option that ends at the elbow. The skirt is swishy and voluminous and comes in three lengths, above the knee, midi or maxi, with optional patch pockets.

Model notes:  Heather is 5'-7" and wears a size 12 from the 0-20 size range. 

Sewing level: Advanced beginner

Sizes: 0-20  (see the sizing chart here)

Finished measurements: See complete final measurements here

SUGGESTED FABRIC:

Elodie can be made in a wide variety of fabrics. Light to medium weight wovens like linen, cotton poplin, batiste, voile and chambray will have a more casual feel. Choose a drapey woven like silk, viscose, tencel or rayon challis for a more elegant or fluid effect.

• Lightweight fusible interfacing
