Adult Dolman

$10.00
 

Now the Mamas can match their littles! The adult dolman pattern comes with new options including: regular and full length cut lines, banded or hemmed short sleeves, cuffed long sleeves, and a traditional or split waistband.

This is not quite as relaxed as the children pattern so we suggest sizing up in width for a more relaxed fit. Because our bodies are all so different we also highly recommend reading through the instructions and making a muslin before cutting into your pretty fabric to make sure you have the fit how you want it! 

Another important thing to note is the sleeve size. The intended finished length of the sleeve hits right at the wrist. Some testers found that they wanted more length so that the sleeve doesn’t come up when they lift their arms. Please make sure you check the finished measurements prior to making your dolman.

A quick note before you dive in: Our patterns include multiple files so you can sew the way you like—at home on a printer, at a copyshop (A0), or with a projector.

Quick answers

  • After checkout, you can download your pattern from the confirmation page, from the email we send, or anytime under Account → My Downloads using the same email you purchased with.
  • Your files come in a .zip. It’s easiest to download on a computer, unzip, and you’ll see: Instructions, Letter/A4, A0, and a Projector file.
  • Printing at home? Open the Letter/A4 PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader and print at 100% (Actual Size), then check the test square.
  • Prefer no paper? Use the Projector file. It includes a calibration layer so you can confirm scale before you cut.
  • Need a big print? Send the A0 file to a local copyshop or an online printer.
  • If you get stuck, email hello@lowlandkids.com and we'll be happy to help!


Downloads & accounts


How do I get my files?
Right after payment you’ll see a download button on the confirmation page. We also email you links in your order confirmation email. And you can log in to our website any time and find everything under View Downloads.

What pattern files are included?
Four PDFs: Instructions, Letter/A4 (home printing), A0 (copyshop), and Projector.

Can I download on my phone or tablet?
Yes! Check out our Printing and Projector tips page for specific guidance.


Projector sewing (quick start)


Do your patterns include projector files?
Yes—our current catalog includes projector-optimized files for nearly all patterns. You’ll see “Projector” listed in each download.

How do I check scale?
Open the Projector file and turn on the calibration layer. Confirm the 1” / 2.5 cm squares measure correctly. If you move your projector or cutting surface, re-check before you cut.

Any setup tips?
Keep the text/markers layer visible. If labels look faint, check your PDF viewer’s accessibility settings and disable “replace document colors.” You can also enable the black background layer for higher contrast.


Print-at-home (Letter/A4)

1. Open the Letter/A4 PDF in Adobe Acrobat Reader.
2. In the print dialog, choose Actual Size (100%) and auto portrait/landscape.
3. Print the page with the test square first; measure to confirm scale.

Troubleshooting:
  • If the whole pattern prints on a single page, you likely opened the wrong file (use Letter/A4, not A0 or Projector).
  • If lines look fuzzy or misaligned, try “Print as image,” make sure your printer driver is up to date, and restart your computer.


Copyshop / A0

Download the A0 file and send it to a copyshop or an online service. Many sewists print a single master copy and trace sizes as needed.

Note that we protect our patterns by locking the pdf files to prevent editing in tools like Adobe Illustrator. In rare circumstances copy shops might use software that invisibly requests edit access and will show errors when attempting to open our files. 


Layers (print only the sizes you need)

All patterns include layers. Open the Layers panel in Acrobat Reader and hide sizes you don’t need. This keeps lines clear and makes grading between sizes easier.


Sizing & skill level

Each product page shows the skill level and links to the size chart. If measurements land between sizes, it’s common to use the width of one size and the length of another.


What machines do I need?

A regular sewing machine is all you need to start. A serger is optional but great for knit fabrics and tidy seams. A coverstitch is helpful for professional hems but not required.


Can I sell what I make?

Yes—items must be sewn by you personally. Mass production or outsourcing isn’t allowed. For manufacturing inquiries, email us.


Need help?

We’re happy to troubleshoot downloads, printing, or projector setup. Email hello@lowlandkids.com and include your order email and a screenshot of your issue if you can.

What a fantastic pattern! I love the 'hide layers' option for printing. The size chart is bang on. I have been sewing for years but am new to knits. The pattern was very easy from start to finish. I was trying on my new dolman in a couple short hours.

My favorite pattern so far!

My favorite pattern so far! I’ve made three! My son actually said, “This is fire! Where’d you get it from?” (Teenager:sweat_smile:) When I told him I made it he asked me to make him one too. So it’s a win win!! I will have to extend the sleeves a bit but I think he will love it. I’ve made the shorter version(short torso) and I think I’ll make it even shorter for a more cropped look. I did make the neck band shorter and less high the third time.

Challenging fit, easy sew

I've made this a few times now - I still can't quite figure out the fit. It's VERY baggy for my "regular" measurements. So I sized down, but then the sleeves are weirdly short? I finally ended up sizing down 2 sizes, but adding lots of length back to the sleeves. That said, really cute to wear and easy to sew.

Simple and cute!

This is the first piece of clothing I’ve made for myself instead of my kids. The pattern was incredibly simple and the end result was so cute! I added an inch to the sleeves which turned out to be the perfect length for me. Highly recommend!

Fun easy sew. I wanted

Fun easy sew. I wanted an oversized look so first one I sewed a large (I typically wear medium, 5 ft 7 for reference) I added length to the sleeves as per the instructions but they were still a bit short. I also found the neckline a bit too wide. Next one I did a size small for the neckline mashed up with a size large and the neck was much better. I added a significant amount to the sleeves and also to length of the bodice and now it’s perfect. Not a fan of having to do so many adjustments to a pattern as I won’t remember next time I go to sew it, but overall happy with how the second sew turned out.

Great fit - easy to customize

Super cute and pretty easy to put together! I loved making this and showing off what I’ve made to my family and friends. I will definitely use this pattern again to make a couple more for myself! Giving one to a friend as a maternity shirt, and I think it will turn out super great! Might use this pattern to make lots of Christmas gifts. The instructions were pretty easy, the sleeves were easy to lengthen and the garment was beautiful!

Exactly what I wanted.

So quick and easy to sew! Exactly what I was looking for to sew up some French terry from my stash. I loved it so much I bought the kid version to make a matching one for my son, but my partner has stolen my one so I’ve barely had the chance to wear it. I’ll be making a t-shirt with the short sleeved version next.

Nice Pattern.

I sewed this up for my husband and I still have to make one for myself. It was very easy. The directions were well written. I didn’t have any rib, so I just used the FT which made the neck a little funny. I wish using the same fabric was in the pattern. Overall it looks nice and we were both happy with it.
