Rainbow Dolman
This dolman pattern is a closet staple, taken to the next level with rainbow stripe color blocking and a scuba hood! A crew neckband is also included. Don't be afraid to mix and match colors to really step this pattern up! If you want to keep the color blocking going pair with the Retro Joggers or Taylor Joggers. For a simple look, we love the Joggers or Gusset Pants. The fit is slightly oversized designed for all day comfort. If between sizes, size up to be able to wear longer!

Customers praised this sewing pattern as "easy to follow" and "quick to sew" with "well written instructions." Many noted the "oversized fit" and described results as "cute" and "adorable." Some mentioned it's ideal for using fabric scraps. A few customers found sleeves slightly short and noted the pattern requires many pieces to print and assemble.
Magnifique ce patron 👌🙌👏
Love it 🫶
Another wonderful pattern by Lowland. These turned out so cute and pair up well with the retro joggers! Easy sew with big results!
Super goed patroon. Love it:heart:️ Perfecte beschrijving. Maten kloppen volgens tabel. Heel erg blij mee. Heb gelijk 5 stuks gemaakt ;-)
Easy en fun to make
Overall I really like it but I find the sleeves a bit to short for my girls, next time I'll lengthen them about 5cm. Otherwise a great scrap buster project as there's so many pieces that you could easily sew a size 4y with a 50cm (full width) piece of fabric.
As a beginner with a lot of ‘gumption’, I attempted the Rainbow Dolman, fully expecting to make a real hash of it but it was actually really lovely to sew. I chose to make the non-hooded version but would definitely make this again in the hooded design. I made it using French Terry and soft wear for one of the stripes, and managed to cut and assemble the pattern, cut out the fabric and sew it all together in one afternoon, which was great. I thought that with the extra pieces it would take longer but it was a really quick sew. The instructions were really easy to follow too. Great selection of patterns on the website - can’t wait to make more!
I love the pattern! Very well prepared, description is clear. Easy to modify for the scraps of material you have :)
A lovely pattern, well-explained, with a nice, oversized fit so my 10y/o can still comfortably wear it!
I was initially worried about the rainbow stripes as it reminded me a bit of the Retro Jogger stripes. However, with the instructions it was really easy to line up properly. Relatively quick sew, love the hood & great fit on my toddler!
Very cute sweater. Sewing was pretty easy.
This was a nice, easy sew and I love the finished look!
Superleuk patroon, erg blij mee.
This is a really fun, quick little sew. Love how it came out and I can’t wait to sew up more of them in all the colors!
This pattern is beautiful!! And so adorable :heart:️ thank you so much :blush:
Simple directions
Stan our little grandson loves it…thank you for the freebie.
Such a fun sew, with a great result! She has gotten so many compliments when she wears it!
Like other lowland pattern, this one doesn’t disappoint! Such a cute, quick sew! Also love that it’s great for scrap busters. The only thing I wish is that it came with the option of a solid back piece as well
This pattern is amazing. It’s such a quick easy sew but it comes out looking like it took forever. So easy to customize and make it look professional. I can’t stop making it! I love it so much, now I just wish they had it in my size!
The dolman is one of my favorite sews, then you guys stepped it up with the rainbow color block and WOW! I love how little fabric it takes to create, and the possibilities are endless with solids or prints. The color blocking may seem a little difficult, but don't let it stop you these instructions are easy to follow
I found this pattern fun and easy to follow! Thank you for another great Lowland pattern!!
Luv the pattern and it offers so much opportunity for creativity!
