This dress is an oldie but a goodie. I attempted this pattern pretty early in my sewing journey because it came highly recommend and I love a wrap dress. The reveiws were correct this was an simple sew!
I used an ITY I bought from a local fabric store. I just love black and white and this abstract grid print grabbed my eye. I chose View B because I was seeking a work friendly dress and was concerned about the coverage of View A. At the time I had not yet tackled sleeves and decided to omit them. Additionally, after reading the many reviews on Pattern Review concerning the placement of the sash I decided not to attach the sash to the side seams. Instead I cut the sash pattern piece on the fold creating a separate sash to wear with the dress.
All in all I love this dress. The only issue I have with this dress is the deep V. I originally cut a 12 for the bodice and took it in to about a 10. I think if I had cut a 10 to start that would have helped greatly. It’s no biggie though I just pin it. The next time I will tack it down.
Pattern Description: Close-fitting, pullover, mock wrap dresses have right front variations, tie ends and narrow hems. C and D: gathered right front.
Pattern Sizing: 6-8-10-12-14 and14-16-18-20-22 I cut a 10 bodice, 12 skirt

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love a wrap dress so I loved that this pattern gave that look.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I omitted the sleeves from View B. Also I did not attach the sash at the side seams but rather cut one large sash to wear separately.
