Create a whimsical and kick-a$$ Wasteland Dress for yourself with this 29 Page pattern! This pattern includes a mixture of written instructions and supporting diagrams and photos for visual learners. (Use of the stitch diagrams is not at all necessary to complete this pattern).

The Wasteland Dress is a distressed tabard-style dress, featuring a face covering which folds down into a turtleneck-style collar, an oversized hood which folds down to stretch around the shoulders like a cowl/wrap and corset-style lace up sides which peter out just above the hips to create a flattering silhouette.

Perfect on it’s own for an edgy look, or pair with leggings or jeans for everyday style. Make yours in sandstone or greys for a desert punk look, verdant green for the elven explorer in you or vibrant purple or black to bring out the witch! Perfect for upcoming sunny days, festivals, raves… or the apocalypse!

This pattern works for any body. It is entirely made to measure, meaning that a measuring tape and trying on your work as you go is essential.
