THE FRACTAL DRESS PATTERN: DESIGN CHOICES

The Fractal Dress Pattern was developed exclusively for our 2019 Build a Wardrobe program. When we were developing the pattern, we were drawn to the modern lines the pattern pieces create; they allow the endless opportunity to experiment with colors. Launching last month, the pattern has been popular with The School of Making community and many of you have already completed a basic garment.

Find details below for our “color block” designs to use as more project inspiration.

We also offer free Resource downloads showing the cutting guides for the dress and the crossover top.

Find The Fractal Dress Pattern here.

Below you will find a guide to match the fabric colors to your pattern pieces and the design choices for our Fractal Crossover Top and Fractal Dress.
