Adeline - Wrap dress and top (PDF pattern)

Size Guide

$14.00 USD

Adeline is a wrap dress and top pattern designed for woven fabrics. Featuring dramatic diagonal pleats in the front and back, this is a wrap dress with a twist.

Choose your level of detail, with either a shawl collar or a plain neckline. The sleeves come in short and 3/4 length, and can be plain, or pleated. Make the knee-length dress (which includes the option of in-seam pockets), or go for the top view with a peplum.

The tie closure makes it easy to wear and easy to sew - no buttons or zips! The detailed instructions will walk you through every step to a beautiful finish.

Your fabric choice will make all the difference. Go for an understated look with chambray or linen, or bring out the elegance with a flowing rayon or silk.

Update: The Adeline pattern now has a free sleeveless bodice included! Read the blog post announcement about it here.

Materials 

Fabric

Adeline is designed for light to medium weight non-stretch wovens with good drape. Cotton, viscose/rayon, silk, wool, and linen are all ideal. Try a chambray or linen for a casual feel, or go more dressy with a silk crepe de chine or swishy rayon.

Interfacing

Shawl collar and pleated sleeve views: 0.7m (0.8 yards) of lightweight woven fusible interfacing.
Plain neckline view: A small amount of lightweight fusible interfacing. You may use pre-made fusible tape, or cut your own (1cm / 3/8” wide).

Notions

Thread.

Fabric requirements

Below are the maximum requirements for the length of fabric needed. These are calculated using the longest sleeve and the shawl collar view.

Allow extra fabric if lengthening the skirt.
