Named Clothing, Lilja Dress & Blouse Pattern

Lilja is a charmingly unique wrap garment that comes in three different variations an ankle- length dress, a pinafore dress and a blouse.

Either variation can be sewn sleeveless or with bohemian, length puff sleeves.

You can also choose either a round or square neckline, or a combination of both.

The round neckline can be finished with either a facing or binding and ties.

This versatile garment is both simple to sew and easy to wear.

Fabric Suggestions

For any variation, choose a light or medium weight non-stretch fabric. You can opt for a low drape shirting, such as poplin or light seersucker, or choose a fabric with drape, for example crepe or rayon challis. If your variation features bindings, you can cut them from your fabric, or use a pre-made binding.
The fabric requirements include a 5% allowance for shrinkage. Note that the fabric consumption may be greater for fabrics with a pattern and for fabrics that need to be cut in one direction.
