Sew a beautiful statement outfit with La Combinaison Flora by Cha'coud, an elegant women's jumpsuit PDF sewing pattern featuring a plunging V-neckline, flowing trousers and a striking open-back design. Designed to be worn throughout the seasons, Flora can also be made with shorts for a lighter summer version.
Combining feminine details with a comfortable silhouette, this versatile jumpsuit features soft gathering at the bust and waist, batwing-style sleeves with gathered extensions, elasticated cuffs and a shaped waistband. The open back is finished with a delicate button-and-loop closure at the neckline, creating an eye-catching detail without overwhelming the design.
An invisible zipper extends from the back trouser crotch seam up to the waistband, providing a discreet closure that preserves the flowing appearance of the garment. Practical side pockets add comfort and functionality.
Originally designed in viscose, Flora can also be sewn in satin, silk, crepe, poplin or taffeta. Choose a fluid fabric for an elegant evening jumpsuit or a lightweight woven material for a comfortable daytime outfit.
This intermediate sewing project offers an opportunity to practise gathering techniques, neckline binding, elasticated sleeves, waistband construction and invisible zipper installation.

Pattern Variations
Full-Length Flora Jumpsuit:
Create an elegant one-piece outfit with full-length trousers, a deep V-neckline and long gathered sleeves. This version is perfect for occasions where you want the sophistication of a coordinated outfit with the convenience of a jumpsuit. Sew it in viscose or crepe for graceful drape, or choose satin or silk for a more luxurious finish.
Summer Flora Romper:
Transform Flora into a shorts-length jumpsuit for warmer weather. The short version retains the beautiful gathered bodice, open back, decorative waistband and elasticated sleeves while offering a lighter, more relaxed silhouette. The designer suggests shortening the trousers to create this variation.
Styling Tip: Choose a printed viscose for a playful everyday version, a solid crepe for a sophisticated minimalist look, or a luminous satin for an elegant evening outfit.
Design Details
Deep V-Neckline:
The long V-shaped neckline creates an elegant, flattering front. The neckline is finished with bias binding for a neat and refined edge.
Open Back with Button Closure:
A generous opening at the back adds a distinctive feminine detail. The upper neckline is secured with a small button and loop, providing an attractive finishing touch.
Gathered Batwing Sleeves:
The batwing-style bodice is extended with gathered sleeve pieces, finished with elasticated cuffs. The resulting sleeves create soft volume and movement.
Gathered Bodice & Waistband:
Delicate gathering adds volume to the front bodice and upper trousers. A shaped waistband joins the two sections and defines the waist, balancing the relaxed sleeves and fluid trouser silhouette.
Practical Side Pockets:
The trouser section includes pockets integrated into the side seams, allowing everyday essentials to be carried discreetly without disrupting the garment's silhouette.
Invisible Back Zipper:
A 20 cm / approximately 8" invisible zipper is inserted along the centre-back trouser crotch seam and extends into the waistband, creating a discreet fastening.
Recommended Fabrics
The designer created Flora using viscose and recommends several other woven fabrics. For a beautifully flowing jumpsuit, choose a material with a soft drape that allows the gathers, sleeves and trouser legs to fall naturally.
Fabric Selection Tip: Viscose, rayon challis and fluid crepe will emphasize the natural movement of the gathered bodice and trousers. Satin or silk can give the jumpsuit a more formal appearance, while poplin or lightweight taffeta may produce a more structured silhouette.
Important Fabric Consideration: The deep neckline, gathered sleeves and waistband are best suited to fabrics that can be gathered and handled without excessive bulk. Consider the opacity and weight of your fabric, particularly for the lower body and pockets.
Fabric Requirements
The following quantities are provided by Cha'coud for fabrics measuring 140 cm / 55" wide.
- Sizes 34–40: 2.50 m / approximately 2.73 yards
- Sizes 42–48: 2.70 m / approximately 2.95 yards
Note: These quantities correspond to the designer's original full-length jumpsuit requirements. The shorts version may require less fabric, but no separate shorts cutting chart is provided. Additional fabric may be necessary for directional prints, pattern matching, length adjustments or fabrics of different widths.
Additional Supplies & Notions
- Invisible Zipper: 1 zipper measuring 20 cm / approximately 8"
- Bias Tape: 1.50 m / approximately 1.64 yards for finishing the neckline; may be made from the main fabric
- Button: 1 button for the back neckline closure
- Button Loop: 1 fabric or thread loop for the back neckline
- Elastic: 70 cm / approximately 27.6" of 10 mm / 3/8" wide elastic for the sleeve cuffs
- All-purpose sewing thread suitable for the selected fabric
-
Appropriate sewing machine needles for lightweight woven fabrics
- Fabric scissors, marking tools and measuring tape
- Optional serger for finishing seam allowances
- Invisible zipper foot
Sewing Tip: For the elasticated sleeve cuffs, the designer recommends determining the final elastic length by measuring comfortably around the wrist. Distribute the gathers evenly before securing the elastic and closing the casing.
Size Range & Fit
La Combinaison Flora includes eight European women's sizes, from 34 to 48. The designer's measurements are based on a reference height of 165 cm / approximately 5'5".
For this design, Cha'coud specifically recommends choosing your size according to your waist measurement. If you fall between sizes, select the size closest to your waist circumference.
