Totally summer worthy, LILI  dress and jumpsuit makes the perfect summer staple. The knit sleeveless bodice and short-version jumpsuit begs for beachwear or sunbathing. I love the thin spaghetti straps on this design. The round neck is so beautiful. Such a comfy dress and jumpsuit! There is no need to use elastic in the back panel. The jumpsuit goes on and off without a struggle. The optional leg ruffle gives the jumpsuit extra length and detail. Must have!

In this today tutorial, I will show you how I add extra length to Lili jumpsuit by adding ruffles to the legs.

So to start, you’ll need our LILI pattern (English & Dutch). Cutting measurements of the ruffles are provided in the cutting section.

Let’s go ahead!

Adding Ruffle Legs To Any Shorts

Cut 4 pieces of ruffle (see cutting chart for the measurements of your size).
