Paradise Patterns Humla Romper

Buy the Humla Romper sewing pattern from Paradise Patterns. The Humla Romper is the perfect piece to wear on a hot summer day and looks amazing on both pregnant and non-pregnant people. Upon first glance, it looks like a short dress, but the fact that it is a romper makes it that much more comfortable to wear – no risk of flashing anyone!

It has generous ease and feels so airy, like nothing is touching you! The Humla has elastic in the upper bust channel to make it easy to fit. It also has an optional low-support bralette to feel more secure or hold breastfeeding pads in place. The bralette has a dart that reduces extra bulk if you wear it on its own, but that dart is also optional. To make the pattern beginner friendly, skip installing the pockets and bralette. View A is a romper, View B is a top, and View C is just the bralette.
