How To Style And Wear Your Palazzo Jumpsuit Pattern
Not many patterns can rival the sophisticated yet sultry look of a Palazzo Jumpsuit. To expand your sumptuous-dressing horizon, take advantage of the fitted bodice, bishop sleeves with slightly puffy shoulders to accentuate your bust with the addition of a subtle chain necklace.
The palazzo pant legs might cover parts of your shoes, but that doesn’t mean that your favorite strappy block heels will be completely invisible - people will appreciate them as you walk.
Alternatively, you can opt for a pair of kitty, pointy toe heels with the addition of a hobo or a mini bag. If the weather gets too chilly, layer your Palazzo Jumpsuit with a cropped blazer.

Supplies needed:
- Your Olivia Jumpsuit Pattern

- 1 invisible zipper 55 cm long

Suggested fabrics
First thing’s first: you have to make sure the fabric you are using has some stretch in it. That’s what will keep your item fitting snugly and looking good!
The good news is that there are plenty materials to choose from when it comes to making you new item. Consider medium weight elastic woven fabrics, such as stretch satin, stretch taffeta maybe even cotton, but there are more stylish options than that for such a precious style pattern
For example, our sample is made of stretch taffeta
How much fabric do you need for your diy jumpsuit?
We've got a handy chart below to help you get the right amount of fabric for your size. It is based on a useful width of fabric between 140 and 150 centimeters, so If you're using a different width or pattern (like stripes, prints), just adjust the placement of pieces so that the finished garment will fit correctly to the available width
Important!
Don't you hate it when you put all your time and effort into making a beautiful garment, only to have it shrink in the wash?
Luckily, there's an easy way to avoid this problem: test your fabric’s contraction before cutting it. To do this, iron steam the raw material at its maximum heat recommendation. Most fabrics have a heat recommendation printed on their care label or bolt
