Buy the Meredith Dress sewing pattern from Sew Over It. The Meredith Dress is a versatile wrap dress, designed to be sewn in jersey. Simple yet elegant, Meredith features a wrap front with a V neckline, as well as a neckband which helps avoid any dreaded gaping! The gathers at the shoulder yoke provide shaping and help to achieve a great fit around the bust, and the tie keeps the dress closed whilst cinching you in at the waist.
Meredith’s very slightly A-line skirt has two hem length options (below the knee and on the knee), and the sleeve can be cut full length or three quarters to suit your preference.
Sumptuously comfy yet stylish, Meredith is a great work staple. She looks classic in a polka dot or solid, but can equally rock a print. With her minimal seams, she’s the perfect canvas for a bright, bold larger-scale floral, geometric or abstract pattern!

So I’ve had a bit of a ‘meh’ relationship with Sew Over It patterns. I’ve 2 very successful ultimate blouses in rotation in my wardrobe but I did have to do a lot of adjustments to the shoulders and back/back neck. My **** bow blouse was the same, just a little constrained across the back and arms.
And then it came to me. Maybe I was being a little optimistic (hopeful!) in my sizing choice. Maybe I was veering towards the smaller size instead of sizing up.
This is the Meredith wrap over dress by Sew over It. My measurements (35, 30, 38) put me nearer a SOI size 10 (35, 28, 38) but knowing my previous issues (I’m quite broad across the back and shoulders) I went for the straight size 12.
I was also keen for the ‘wrap’ to be generous. I’d just spent a day in an older Boden wrap dress and was forever fiddling with the wrap across the bust, even with a safety pin in charge.
I’ve worn this one all day at a BBQ with a fitted denim jacket and a pair of wedges and didn’t have to play with it once. A real result!!
