After bad experiences, making wrap dresses and tops, I decided that they just were not for me.
Until this weekend. I had a go at this pattern. I don't know what the designer has done differently, but the front fits. No gaping! Straight out of the packet. It's brilliant.
I'm considering this dress a wearable muslin, because the fabric is not bad, but not fab, and I need to lower the waistline by an inch.
I predict more of these dresses in my immediate future.

So happy to see this post. I have it in my next pile of patterns having had good success with the concord t shirt.

'Cashmerette' worked hard with her pattern cutter to come up with an excellent fit and there is high praise for it on PatternReview. Apart from wishing that she had a circular skirt option, I am smaller than the starting size for this particular pattern.

I definitely want to try this pattern. I am probably going to hack on my own full skirt as I don't look good in slim skirts. I don't find skirt alterations too tough.
