This jumpsuit reimagines workwear through a softer, more modern lens. It features a sharp point collar and an exposed front zipper, while the dropped waist and adjustable drawstring relax the silhouette. Cut with a loose, easy fit, it comes alive in breathable linens or chambray. Consider it a refined staple with edge, and a rewarding make for the seasoned beginner ready to level up.

Sewing Notes
Here are some tips we recommend for a successful sewing project:
Fit and style
- Choose a size based on your bust. Take a look at the body measurements chart to guide you.
- To get your bust size, measure around the fullest part of your chest. Take a nice deep breath before you check the number just to make sure the measuring tape isn’t too tight. You want it snug, but not squeezing you.
- On the finished garment measurements chart, see how long the garment is and if it’ll work for your height. It’s a good idea to compare the length with something similar you already own. Just keep in mind that these jumpsuit is full-length, so when sitting down, the hem should cover your ankles.

Fabrics
- This pattern works only with non-stretch fabrics. Go for a lightweight fabric that feels soft and drapes well, like silk or viscose. You can also use polyester, but just know it doesn’t breathe as well, so I wouldn’t suggest it for hot weather.
Cutting out
- Before you start cutting your fabrics, wash and dry them like you’d do for the finished piece. Keep in mind the fabric type and what it’s made of so you choose the right cleaning method (like how hot the water should be or what kind of cycle to use…). Plus, the dyes used on certain fabrics tend to bleed when washed, so wash yours separately, or with similar colors.
- After you wash and dry the fabric, give it a good press to get rid of any creases. Just make sure your iron is set to the right temperature for the fabric. Generally, synthetic fibers like acrylic, spandex, or polyester should be pressed on low heat, while natural fibers like cotton, wool, or linen can handle higher heat.
- When you’re set to cut the fabric, just fold it lengthwise right sides together. Make sure the fold is straight and doesn’t twist up. If it does, unfold it and refold until it’s nice and flat. Then, lay out the pattern pieces so the grainline runs parallel to the selvages.
- Make sure you don’t cut the notches too long; aim for them to be around 0.3-0.4 cm long (1/8″). You should also notch the pieces cut on the fold to mark the center back. To do so, cut right in the fold line.
Sewing
- Before you start sewing, grab a scrap piece of fabric and try out a few stitches to see how the tension and stitch length look. If the seam isn’t turning out great, try re-threading your machine first. Still not working? Then go ahead and adjust the tension. As for stitch length, thicker fabric usually needs longer stitches, so adjust that as needed. And if your stitches are skipping, switch to a new needle or to a bigger one.
- Finding a closed-end zipper in a longer length can be challenging, but you can easily use a separating zipper instead. Before you begin sewing, prepare it as follows: Cut a piece of fabric 8 cm (3 1/4”) long and the same width as your zipper. Fold it in half along the short edges, right sides together, and overlock the raw edges. Turn the piece right side out and place it over the bottom of the zipper, right side up, so it covers the end. The fabric tab should extend 2 cm (3/4”) beyond the bottom stopper. Baste it in place to secure.
Good luck with your sewing project!
