The 131 Tibetan Chupa & Wrap Skirt sewing pattern by Folkwear includes a traditional-inspired wrapped Chupa dress and a contemporary Chupa-inspired wrap skirt. Both garments feature distinctive asymmetrical construction and are available in traditional ankle length or a shorter below-the-knee length.

The Chupa is a sleeveless wrapped jumper with a centuries-long history in Tibet. It features an asymmetrical wrap front, front and back shaping darts, a wide neckband, faced armholes and unique side extensions that wrap around the back and tie at the front. The resulting silhouette is slim while allowing comfortable freedom of movement.

The Wrap Skirt takes inspiration from the Chupa's distinctive wrapped silhouette and offers a versatile option that can be worn with a variety of tops and blouses.
