Description

I tried to keep a look like a DVF wrap dress. retro print and simple.
I found quite similar pattern from my patten book which i copied last year. this was from burda style magazine 09/2006. I deleted some of details and changed sleeve length and design.
It was such a exciting project and gave me a lot of fun to make it. I love my own wrap dress and it makes me feel so much like a woman.

    Wow, I love this design. Great job! I’ve been looking for a wraparound dress pattern with a collar like Diane Von Furstenberg’s 70’s pattern which by the way is selling for $100 and upwards online. Do any of you have any similar patterns that you know of that I could buy without breaking the bank. I don’t need to buy a pattern which costs more than the dress!!

    Oh that’s beautiful, it reminded me of DvF before I could read your DvF idea in your description. Also a good color choice! I’m thrilled! I don`t know of any other dress pattern that feminizes us women so much.
