The Sew Over It - 1940's Wrap Dress

A stunning, vintage-inspired woven wrap dress with a wearable contemporary feel, the 1940’s Wrap Dress is a gem from the Sew Over It archives. Stylish, sophisticated and elegant, you can wear this dressed up or down, perfect for both daytime and evening.

The 1940’s Wrap Dress features a wrap front bodice with a front collar and pretty shoulder pleats. The bodice gathers into the uniquely-shaped pointed waistband, and the dress closes with hidden buttons or press studs. The slightly A-line wrap skirt is flattering on all shapes, and the narrow sleeves mean you can pair this dress with your favourite jumper or cardi. Both the sleeves and skirt come with a choice of two different lengths.

Light to medium weight fabrics with lots of drape such as crepe, rayon and cotton lawn.  You will also need 1.5M x 1M of lightwieght fusible interfacing, and two 21mm buttons OR two 21mm press studs.

The pattern contains an instruction booklet with illustrated diagrams plus the multi-size paper pattern pieces.
