After falling in love with #304 Easy Wrap Dress and Top for my sequin knit dress, I decided I would attempt to conquer my fear of sewing with wovens and make it again. Wow, wovens are easy to work with! This is a cotton/linen blend from my catalog. I can’t wait to make it again in a darker fabric – I needed white for a specific function, otherwise I never ever wear white because it attracts every stain. Usually I feel like I am all chest in photos, but with this dress I feel like you can actually see definition in my waist and I don’t feel like my chest is intrusive. I love your instructions and fitting.

I just made your Easy Wrap Dress #304 for a wedding. I used a stretch sequin lace underlined with a bamboo knit. I love the way it came out. It’s so nice having the wrap go under the bust properly.
I’ve never felt so good wearing a dress – I usually stay away from them because either I look like I’m wearing a tent or like I’m “trying too hard.”
This pattern fit so well, the directions were easy to follow and it was so easy to sew. I can’t wait to try another one of your patterns! 🙂

This pattern works for me and the wrap does not come upwrapped – while wearing. I made two versions, both out of woven linen. The second one I made the frilly sleeve [see pattern extenders] then used a tight overlock to create a lettuce edge. To further dress it up I added a ruffle w/lettuce edge as a collar. Next I will try it with knits.
