ButterickPatterns Misses' Wrap Dress, E5 (14-16-18-20-22)

Love this pattern and there's a couple wonderful no fail sew alongs on Youtube for this exact pattern. Very versatile timeless style and the picture on the model doesn't do the actual dress and fit any favors lol. Be advised that Butterick typically allows far too much ease (meaning your dress will be too baggy around the waist/bust) and this pattern is no exception. I had to reorder the pattern again in the next size down category's to allow me to adjust the waist size smaller yet hips larger. Easier to do than most think and the sew alongs show you how to do it beautifully and simply.One thing we don't need in a wrap style dress is a baggy bodice that'll need safety pins for modesty.I'm considered a "confident beginner" so I'm no pro :) If in doubt make the bodice using an old bed sheet or something first and try it on before you cut up your real fabric. You'll be happy you did every time.

Such a pretty pattern! I can't wait to find the time to sew this dress up!

I'm obsessed with wrap dresses. I love the ease of use and the pattern can be adapted in so many ways. I've made 2 from this pattern already. Use flannel and you can make a robe. Use silk and you've got a beautiful party outfit. This pattern is simple to use but very versatile.

This pattern was all off with the sizing lines! It was obviously a 2nd, and most likely had been sold as such. If I hadn't been experienced at sewing, the cut out result would have been a disaster!! No wonder Butterick is blowing it out now for $3.99!!!! (wasn't the case when I purchased it from here).

Great company, on my list for fall sewing!
