True Bias : Lodo Dress Pattern
The Lodo pattern is an elevated take on a basic t-shirt dress. A straight fit through the waist and hips and a slightly tapered hem creates a subtle cocoon shape. It has a flattering deep V neck at center front and an extended cap sleeve. Both the neckline and armholes are finished with a woven facing for stability and structure.
View A has a hem that hits at mid calf with a slit at center back for moveability.
View B’s hem hits a couple of inches above the knee.
