Create a versatile handmade wardrobe staple with the Closet Core Patterns Aylin Wrap Dress + Vest PDF Sewing Pattern. Inspired by clean 90s minimalism, Aylin combines sharp tailoring with effortless layering pieces you'll reach for throughout the year.

The Aylin features a flattering wrap design shaped with princess seams and a Dior dart at the bust for a beautifully tailored fit. A deep V-neckline, square-cut armholes and angled pockets add clean architectural lines, while the wrap construction makes it easy to style for every season.

Choose from three versatile variations. View A is a midi-length wrap dress with practical pockets and an angled front hem. View B is a mini wrap dress with the same elegant silhouette in a shorter length. Both dresses feature a floating lining and are secured with a narrow waist tie. View C is a fully lined vest finishing at the high hip, with the option of a D-ring or fabric tie closure for a contemporary finish.

Designed for intermediate sewists, the Aylin Wrap Dress + Vest is ideal for creating timeless handmade dresses and layering pieces that can be worn year after year.

Choose light to midweight woven fabrics with enough structure to hold the clean lines of the design while still offering a little drape.

  • Broadcloth
  • Chambray
  • Oxford
  • Suiting fabrics
  • Shirting fabrics
  • Linen

For the lining, choose lightweight silky fabrics such as rayon bemberg, charmeuse or crepe de chine. If your main fabric is lightweight and soft enough, it can also be used as the lining.

Supplies Required:

  • Fusible interfacing
  • Cotton stay tape, 1.5 yd (1.4m)
  • Matching thread
  • Elastic for inner loop: 1/4" (6mm) wide × 2½" (6.5cm) long
  • 1 button: 3/8"–1/2" (10–13mm)
  • Safety pin or tube turner for turning ties
  • Optional (View C): 2 x 1½" (38mm) D-rings

Interfacing requirements:

  • All views: 1/2" (13mm) wide strips
  • Views A & B: 0.7 yd (0.7m)

If you don't have cotton stay tape, you can substitute it with the selvedge of a lightweight fabric.

If you don't have elastic for the inner loop, replace it with cotton stay tape, narrow ribbon or a strong thread chain.
