2. Shopping List
You will need the following materials to sew the Backless Romper:

Quantity Description

Main Fabric (60 1 meter / 1 yard This pattern is made only for stretch
inches wide) knit fabrics with four-way stretch. You
cannot use non-elastic fabric for this
pattern, as the pattern will be too tight
if used with non-elastic fabric. Fabrics
should have 50-70% stretch to them.
Fabrics with 50% stretch will have
more of a compressed feel that would
be great for active wear, while fabrics
with 70% stretch will have more of a
relaxed, comfortable fit that would be
great for loungewear.
​
The sample in our photos uses rayon
knit fabric with a 50% stretch.
Examples of other stretch fabrics are
ribbed knit, ITY, and Jersey fabric.
​
Fabric is generally sold at different
widths (e.g. 60 inches, 36 inches). If
your fabric is less than 60 inches
wide, double the quantity of fabric you
buy.

Lining Fabric (60 1 meter / 1 yard The lining fabric should match the
inches wide) elasticity of the main fabric.

It is highly recommended that the

lining Fabric is the same as the main
fabric.

In the YouTube tutorial video, I use a

different fabric for the lining fabric for
instructional purposes only.

Elastic lace tape 1 meter / 1 yard ​ lastic lace tape is optional, and can
E
(optional) be used for the leg hole seams.

The width of the lace tape is up to

you. In our sample we used lacetape
with a width of 1cm.

3. Sizing Instructions
a. Take your measurements

Measure your body circumference at the bust, waist, hip.

b. Examine the size chart on the pattern

Compare your measurements to the size chart and see which size is closest. If you are between
sizes, choose the smaller size since we’re using elastic fabric. The seam allowance for this
pattern is 0.8cm.

SIZE CHART

XS S M L XL 2XL

Bust 30” / 76cm 32” / 81cm 34” / 86cm 36” / 91cm 38” / 96cm 40” / 102cm

4. Printing Instructions
a. Print pattern
There are PDF files in the digital download that correspond with the six sizes available (XS, S,
M, L, XL, 2XL) and two paper sizes (A4/US Letter, A0). It is required that the patterns are printed
with the proper paper size at an 100% aspect ratio. There is a 5cm x 5cm square on each
pattern so that you can measure to make sure that the pattern aspect ratio has been printed
correctly.

b. Trim edges of paper and tape pattern

There is no content on the edges of the paper (usually unprintable area) on the A4/US Letter
paper format, so the edges of each piece of paper must be trimmed. The PDFs have cutting
lines on the borders of the paper to help guide you. After trimming the edges, tape that pattern
together.

On the A0 format, no trimming is needed.

5. Fabric Cutting Instructions
● You will be able to cut the fabric best if you have smooth fabric, so iron your fabric before
cutting. Wrinkled fabric will result in inaccurate pattern markings.

● Cut all pattern pieces using the main fabric and lining fabric. The main fabric and the lining
fabric should have the same elasticity. It is recommended that you use the main fabric for
your lining fabric so that both the main fabric and lining have the same elasticity. See table
below for the number of pieces needed for each pattern.

Pattern piece Main Fabric Lining Fabric

F1 Front piece 1 piece 1 piece

B1 Lower back piece 1 piece 1 piece

B2 Shoulder back piece 2 pieces 2 pieces

C1 Crotch piece 1 piece 1 piece

6. Sewing Instructions
*** As you go through these instructions, the stitching discussed in the current step will be
highlighted using a Red dotted line. If you don’t have an overlock machine where overlock stitching
is needed, use the zig-zag function on your sewing machine instead. Stitching from previous steps
will be shown in Black.

1. Select customizations: Possible customizations include adding elastic lace tape to the leg hole
seams, separating the romper into tights and a top, or extending the romper shorts to be full
leggings. The following instructions will be for making the romper with the optional elastic lace
tape around the leg holes.

2. Overlock stitch shoulders: Overlock stitch the front F1 piece to the back B2 pieces. Do this for
both the main fabric and lining fabric. If you don’t have an overlock machine, use the zig-zag
function on your sewing machine wherever an overlock stitch is required. See illustration.

3. Connect the main fabric with the lining

fabric: With the right sides of the main fabric
and lining fabric facing each other, overlock
stitch (or zig-zag stitch) the armholes and
neckline as shown in the illustration to connect
the main fabric with the Lining Fabric.

4. Flip garment: Flip the garment right side out
through the armholes so that the wrong sides of
the main fabric and lining fabric are facing
each other.

5. Stitch back pieces together: With the right sides of the B1 lower
back pieces (main fabric & lining) facing each other, and with the B2
shoulder back pieces sandwiched in between the B1 pieces, overlock
stitch (or zig-zag stitch) the B1 lower back
piece to the B2 shoulder back pieces.
Stitch fully across the waistline (top side)
of the B1 piece as shown in the
illustration. The other illustration shows
how all the pattern pieces should be
connected after stitching.

6. Stitch bodice sides: Arrange the main fabric and lining fabric as shown in the illustrations
below with the B2 shoulder back pieces sandwiched inside. Make sure that the entire length
of the bodice sides are aligned (start the alignment from the end of the armhole). Afterwards,
overlock stitch (or zig-zag stitch) the sides of the bodice together.

7. Stitch crotch: Overlock stitch (or zig-zag stitch) the C1 crotch piece between the F1 front
piece and B1 lower back piece. Do this separately for both the lining and the main fabric.See
illustration below.

8. Pre-stitch leg holes: With the wrong sides of the main fabric and lining fabric facing each
other, stitch the leg holes using a straight line stitch. This is a pre-stitch to lock the lining and
main fabric together.

9. Hem the seams: Set your stitch length on your sewing machine to the longest length
setting. Fold the right side of the fabric over, and hem the seams of the leg holes using a
straight stitch. This is another pre-stitch so that adding elastic lace tape will be easier.

Note: If you are not adding elastic lace tape to your leg holes, use a zig-zag stitch to hem
the seams.

10. Attach elastic lace tape (optional): Using the zig-zag stitch function on your machine,
stitch the lace tape onto the leg holes. I recommend adding a little tension on the lace tape
as you sew it on, in order for the opening to be more fitted. See illustration below.

11. Trim excess seam: Trim the excess seam off the leg holes.

12. Remove pre-stitch: If you added lace tape to your romper, remove the pre-stitch from Step
8 and Step 9, leaving only the zig-zag stitch on the seam.
