The Maker's Atelier Origami Dress and Top

Buy the Origami Dress and Top sewing pattern from The Maker’s Atelier. This style, designed to be made in stretch jersey fabrics, is deceptively simple to make and exceptionally beautiful to wear. The asymmetric twist at the centre front cleverly drapes and falls in soft folds, while the drop shoulder creates a subtly elegant batwing effect. Options are given for long or short sleeves, or no sleeves for a capped sleeve look.

Suggested fabrics: Suitable for jersey fabrics only including cotton, viscose and silk jerseys. Viscose/elastane jerseys are most suitable for their weight and drape.
