About This Sewing Pattern
The Dan exp Jumpsuit sewing pattern has a wrap-effect bodice with a deep-v neckline and back. 3/4 sleeves finished with cuffs and 2 long waist ties.
Trousers with pin tucks at the front, shaping darts and a waistband at the back. As with all my patterns, there are pockets for your things and ezp® zips for speedy toilet trips!
What Materials You Need
The pattern is drafted for a medium weight woven fabric like linen, cotton, tencel or velvet. Something between 185 - 300gsm/m². You could also use a knit or stretch fabric of the same weight. It needs to be strong enough to hold the weight of 2 zips.
Fabric requirements can be found [here].
