Description
The Ailakki Cross Front Jumpsuit by Named Patterns is no doubt a head-turner. The bodice has bust darts to give shape, is lined, and is fitted through the waist. The front bodice pieces cross in front leaving a small open keyhole while making a V-neck shape on the back. The trousers join the bodice at the natural waist with a waistband and fit loosely in a carrot leg shape. Front pleats and back darts help give the trousers shape and an exposed zipper in the back provides a fun contrast element.
Sewn in a medium-weight woven fabric with light drape allows the jumpsuit to retain structure while looking elegant and sleek. The Ailakki is perfect for dressier occasions when a power suit or dress just won't do. Layer a turtleneck underneath when the weather gets cooler and pair with sneakers for an urban feel.

Overall Satisfaction
This is the first Named pattern I have used and it was very easy to follow. I had to take a couple of inches out of the shoulders for my preferred fit.
