Welcome to the wonderful world of sewing!
We will guide you through all the steps to turn this easy-to-sew pattern into a top or dress.
The Wrap top has two unevenly shaped fronts, giving it an asymmetrical V-neck when finished, and the boxy shape means it's flattering on many different body types. Its wide sleeves can either be rolled up or kept at elbow length.
If making the top as a dress the sides end with a slit.
The base pattern uses standard women's length measurements, but the pattern includes pieces to help you make it into a longer top or turn it into a dress.
You can choose to make the top/dress as a two-tone garment with the left front and left sleeve in a different colour of fabric - how to do this is described in the assembly instructions.
Female model is 170 cm tall and wearing a size S, male model is 190 cm and wearing a size L.
