Sew House Seven Wildwood Wrap Dress

Buy the Wildwood Wrap Dress sewing pattern from Sew House Seven. 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 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. This pattern is rated intermediate due to the skirt facing technique and French seamed shawl collar and shoulders.

Note: The belt is included with the dress pattern, but if you would like to buy the belt only, it is available as a standalone pattern here.
