Lilt Trio: Elastic Bandeau Top, Dress & Mini Skirt (FREE Digital Sewing Pattern)

The Lilt Trio is a FREE digital sewing pattern for an elastic bandeau top, dress and mini skirt, all made from simple rectangles of fabric.

There’s nothing to print, tape or trace. Work out your measurements from the charts, or the custom sizing calculator, and mark them straight onto your fabric. Then follow the step-by-step illustrated instructions. Each option has a centre-back French seam and 1-3+ elastic channels, so it’s a relaxed, beginner-friendly project that’s easy to finish.

What’s included:

• Illustrated, step-by-step instructions for the top, dress and mini skirt (PDF)
• Size charts for AU 6–16, plus a custom sizing calculator (XLSX file)
• Adjustable ruffle, channel and length measurements with fullness options, so you can make it your own
• A bonus tapered back option for a lower back (single channel only) (PDF)

Notions: lightweight/midweight fabric such as linen or cotton, elastic, and basic sewing supplies.

Recommendations: Sew a toile first to determine your desired measurements and final look. Read through all instructions and the XLSX file prior to beginning, and use the excel sheet to figure out your size.
