Pattern - True Bias - The Lodo Dress

The Lodo Dress by True Bias is a chic and modern take on the classic t-shirt dress. Designed for a flattering straight fit through the waist and hips, it gently tapers at the hem to create a subtle cocoon silhouette. Featuring a deep V-neckline and extended cap sleeves, both finished with a woven facing for stability and clean edges, this dress combines elegance with everyday comfort. View A falls to mid-calf with a back slit for easy movement, while View B sits just above the knee for a more casual look. Perfect for medium weight knit fabrics like ponte, cotton interlock, or lightweight scuba, this dress is ideal for sewing enthusiasts seeking both style and wearability.
