Buy the Lodo Dress sewing pattern from True Bias. The Lodo is an elevated take on a basic t-shirt dress. It has a straight fit through the waist and hips and a slightly tapered hem to create a subtle cocoon shape. It has a V neck at centre front and an extended cap sleeve. Both the neckline and armholes are finished with a woven facing for stability and structure. View A has a hem that hits at mid calf with a slit at centre back for moveability. View B’s hem hits a couple of inches above the knee.

Note: The size ranges have been drafted from different blocks. The 14 – 30 block has a slightly more curvy set of dimensions than the 0 – 18 block.

Both size ranges are drafted for an average height of 5’5″.
Notions: Coordinating thread, ball point needle.
