Burda Style is my go to site for finding cute, cheap (or free) patterns as well as good apparel sewing advice. I’m always excited to try something new, but usually I end up seeing something I like, adding it to my incredibly long list of sewing things to do, and then never doing it. I become more like my mom every day. Well not this time! I actually got a pattern and finished a dress, all in the same day! I used to Hope Wrap Dress pattern, which is lovely and free. I used a dark gray knit that I bought at Joann’s (with my 50% off coupon of course!). This dress is simple, like you can’t mess it up simple. Trust me, I’m pretty sure I’ve messed up everything I’ve tried to sew at least once. I love the fit, it’s nice to find a pattern that I don’t have to make a ton of alterations too. I could say it 100 times, wrap dresses look good on pretty much everyone. The only thing I would change is I would make the arms just slightly larger so I don’t feel like they were painted on my body.
I promise, it looks better on me than on this hanger!
