Jo Dress + Jumpsuit Pattern

Jo Dress + Jumpsuit Pattern

Closet Core Patterns

Jo is a dress or jumpsuit with a V-neck bodice and sculptural rounded sleeves. Choose a dramatic or understated sleeve shape, then combine the bodice with a skirt or trousers. Bias-bound slot seams add structure, while elastic shapes the back waist.

Difficulty
Advanced
Recommended fabric
To create stability and structure for this design, we suggest stable midweight wovens such as linen, cotton broadcloth, sateen, ikat, and chambray. You may also use lightweight denim and twill provided it has some degree of drape.
