Short Sleeve Mid Length Kimono FREE Sewing Pattern
This short sleeve mid-length kimono pattern is specially designed with the “apple” body shape figure. This type of figure is very tricky to dress since a protruding stomach might be a bit challenging to hide. Pay special attention to my fabric recommendations so you end up with a top that is both flattering and attractive no matter what your size.
I am keeping the sides open since the type of vent we are using adds fluidity to the top. The long neckline will also streamline your figure. Soft fabric will follow the curves of your body without adding pounds.
