Is This The Ultimate Wrap Dress?

The Atlas wrap dress is a combination of a shirt on the top half, and a short  sarong skirt on the bottom half. There are two sleeve options and there is a breast pocket should you like a little extra detailing. It is a fabulous design and I am sure that it will become a classic. Is this the ultimate wrap dress?

Considering the final outcome, this is a very straightforward dress to make. There are no linings, zips or button holes, and the instructions are easy to follow. Definitely a make for someone with moderate sewing experience.

This dress comes together relatively quickly, and is a satisfying make.

First of all, I am of a certain age and mini skirts are no longer an option! Therefore my first alteration was to lengthen the skirt.

I have to admit that this was not as easy as I thought it would be. There is a point on the hip where it says to lengthen the skirt if you wish. Unfortunately, because of the rounded shape if the base hem, it is impossible to line up and match.

I had no choice but to virtually self draft the skirt. I simply dived in and cut what I thought would work. Thankfully it did! It would be a great help if Masin could add a longer skirt to the pattern, for us ladies who need or prefer to cover a little more leg.

For me this is a dress that I can see myself making time and again, so give it a go ladies.
