Fab holiday dress

For a wrap dress there is quite a lot that goes into this make.  The Highlands Wrap Dress is a woven dress with a faced V-neckline, elasticised back waistband, hidden button waist tabs for security and waist ties. There’s a midi and a maxi length with a long slit and short sleeves or no sleeves with armhole facings. There are many beautiful ones on IG.

I graded between sizes, in between a size 6 and 8 at the bust to a size 10 at my waist. I left it at a size 10 over the hips although my hip measurement was a size 8. You do have to get the size at the waist right because although it is a wrap dress, it is secured by hidden tabs and press studs.

I liked the back waist band as it gave definition around the back but I didn’t need to insert elastic into it; it was already the perfect size for across my back, on my waistline. It didn’t need to be cinched in any further!

I love it. It’s definitely an elevated wrap dress.
