Fehr Trade Triumph Suit

Buy the Triumph Suit sewing pattern from Fehr Trade. Triumph in your next triathlon with a suit designed to move with you. Choose from sleeved or sleeveless views. No side seams and shifted shoulder seams mean you’ll look great from all angles. Princess seams in the front and back curve with your body, and a banded shorts hem stays in place while you race. A zippered, floating front makes transition comfort breaks quick and easy. Four back pockets and two easy access side pockets mean all your supplies are close at hand.

This pattern is suitable for advanced (or motivated intermediate) sewists. You should be comfortable sewing with stretchy activewear fabrics and stretch mesh as well as applying zippers, FOE, and clear elastic. The pattern is drafted with negative ease for a close fit similar to RTW compression styles.
