Wardrobe by Me - Akinori Dress Pattern

The Akinori Dress is a kimono-inspired dress pattern that hugs the waist with a belt. The elegant yet straightforward wrap-dress sewing pattern is designed for lightweight woven fabric but works equally well in jersey fabric, as long as the fabric is without lycra.  

Size 0-24 / 30-54. Height 5'8" 172cm C/D cup.

Skill level 3/4

Skill level 3/4. Although sewing the dress does not take much time, the technique of bagging and turning the front yoke takes some practice.

Fabric and notions

Choose a lightweight woven or jersey fabric. Choose silk, cotton, viscose or any other fabric with a beautiful drape. If sewing the garment in jersey, size down one size. The interfacing must be compatible with the fabric.
