This is a great pattern! Usually, with a wrap dress or blouse I always feel like I have to keep adjusting to keep it in place, but not with this one! I added stay tape to the neckline, and I am glad I did. I used a wool knit and am looking forward to trying a cotton knit.
A stylish, nice blouse that’s very easy to make!

Love the pattern, but be careful of your choice of knit, used a fairly loose knit and quickly had a steep learning curve using flexible interfacing tape on all edges, overlocked them then made a flat seam, used the ties, folded and sewn, looked much more user friendly, also made this in a navy light ponte fabric with matching trousers, great substitute for a jumpsuit, looks and feels great, very flattering also no bathroom jiggling, will be using this pattern again and again

I did struggle a bit with the ties. Might also make them a little shorter next time. But by and large, it came together quickly and i absolutely loooove it. I used linen-jersey, its soo comfy, yet chic and so flattering. Can’t wait to make 5 more!

This is an excellent pattern that I have so far made twice. I used a 95% cotton 5% Lycra fabric which worked brilliantly. I found the sizing was generous and the wrap was not too low. A previous reviewer stated the tiers were 1 layer thick but following the pattern I didn’t find this. I would recommend this as it was straightforward to make and looks good on.

This is a great pattern but with some caveats. I made this out of some inexpensive sweater knit, which might have worked ok but the whole thing stretched out during assembly. Yes, they say to be careful about this in the instructions but it would’ve been better if they’d suggested binding all of the seams with seam binding unless you’re using a very stable knit. Also, the tie is only one layer of fabric thick. This means the wrong side shows. With my fabric, the wrong side curled over the right side so that only the unprinted white side showed. I removed the ties and cut two additional pieces and sewed the ties so that no wrong side was visible. Unfortunately, this made the ties thick and added a lot of bulk to the waist. If I make this again, I will use a knit with very good recovery. I would not use sweater knit again unless it was yarn-dyed, and I would definitely bind the top neckline edge instead of serging it and turning it under. Live and learn! I might make this again in a good quality bamboo. I think you want a knit with excellent recovery and an attractive “wrong” side.

How Do I Know What Size I Am?
Choosing your pattern size is the most important step and we will help you determine this with these easy to follow steps.
When taking your measurements ensure that you take them against your skin and not over clothing. One can wear a comfortable bra and knickers whilst measuring, as this will provide you with the most accurate measurements.
Tape measure has to sit firmly around the points you are measuring. But be careful not to pull it too tight, as this will give you the incorrect size.
When measuring circumferences (B, C, D, E) it is important to note that the tape measure must remain parallel to the floor. It is sometimes best to take the measurements in front of a mirror; this will help you see the angle of the tape measure.
You will only require the basic body measurements to determine your pattern size which is indicated on our mannequin below:
A. Shoulder Breadth
Place the tape at the edge of the shoulder. Measure along the top of the shoulder blade/across the highest point of the shoulders to the other edge, following the natural slope and allow an extra finger for ease of any movement.
B. Upper Arm Girth
This point is taken as a circumference at your widest point of your upper arm.
C. Bust
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the fullest part of your chest.
D. Waist
This point is taken as a circumference and taken at the smallest part of your waist.
E. Hip
This point is taken as a circumference parallel to the floor at the widest part of your hips.
