SWIRL DRESS AND TOP (Tutorial in English and French)
SIZE 18 MONTHS TO 12 YEARS
LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE
The LILA dress along with all ATELIER MIMITO patterns, were designed for your child to grow into so you don’t have to change their wardrobe every few months, however I do offer multiple sizes as every child is different.
This pattern and tutorial allow you to create a top and a midi lenght dress with bias tape finishes and gathering at the top for a maximum swirl effect.
RECOMMENDED FABRICS
From lightweight to mid-weight linen, silk, cotton twill or a soft cotton shirting .
You may also want to use a combination of two different fabric with a sheer fabric for the upper layer such as organza or an embroidered tulle and a lining such as cotton voile, silk/satin, crepe, any soft, natural woven fabrics with a good drape.
If you are not sure which fabric to use, look up the hashtag #lilamimito on Instagram for
inspiration.

PDF SEWING PATTERN
Please note: This pattern contains three files. A PROJECTOR file, a COPY SHOP file and a PRINT AT HOME file. If using Adobe Acrobat, you can choose to display or print only the size you need by selecting the corresponding layer.
The PROJECTOR file can be opened using Adobe Acrobat. You can deselect the sizes you do not need and display only your desired size. Ensure your projector is calibrated and measure the check square to ensure the pattern is at the correct scale. If using dark-coloured fabric, change the colour setting of the projector file so the pattern and text are easier to see.
The Copy Shop file can be printed at any printing store onto a large piece of paper. It needs to be printed true to size at scale 100% and orientation “Auto”. This specific file fit onto an A0 paper or US equivalent. The Copy Shop file is also suited for projector.
The Print At Home file can be printed at home with any standard printer at scale 100%. It contains 15 pages that you need to assemble by cutting the margins and taping the pages together following the numbers indicated on each page. This file suits both A4 and US Letter printers.
Remember to measure the test square to ensure your pattern has been printed at the correct scale.
