Sew House Seven Wildwood Wrap Dress Paper Sewing Pattern

The Wildwood Wrap Dress is perfect for the office, parties, weddings or when you just feel like wearing a dress. It is a true wrap dress, although with a detached, obi inspired belt. The beauty of this dress is created by the drape of the shawl collar and enhanced by the waist and shoulder pleats. It has generous front pockets, and a slim skirt with a wide, faced hem. French seams are used to construct the upper bodice so version B looks pretty once the sleeves are rolled up. Choose a below the knee hem or longer midi-length hem.

Although it was originally designed with linen fabrics in mind, short sleeve version A also looks great in slinky and drapey silks and rayon fabrics. The dolman sleeve version B works best with more stable fabrics such as linen and cotton.

Wildwood's Features:

• True wrap dress with a detachable, obi-inspired belt
• Shawl collar with beautiful drape
• Waist and shoulder pleats for enhanced shaping
• Generous front pockets
• Slim skirt with a wide, faced hem
• French seams for a neat finish on the bodice
• Two sleeve options: short sleeves (version A) and dolman sleeves (version B)
• Two hem length options: below the knee or midi-length
• Version A works well with drapey fabrics like silks and rayon, while version B is suited for more stable fabrics like linen and cotton

Skill level: Intermediate: due to the skirt facing technique and French seamed shawl collar and shoulders.

Size Range: 00 - 20

Suggested Fabrics: Dress weight linen, linen blends, cotton lawn, cotton ikat, and dress weight cottons with a soft hand.
