DIY: Wrap Dress From Scratch

DIY Wrap Dress from Scratch!

I used draping tape to create my design.

Drape and pin the muslin to the dress form. Then trace the draping tape with a sharpie.

Once you are done draping and tracing take the muslin off the dress form and add a half inch seam allowance to both pattern pieces. Put the muslin back on the dress form and mark notches, so that you will know where each pattern piece belongs.

Take the pattern pieces and place them on the fabric and cut them out. Cut 2 of the front of the dress and cut the back piece on the fold.

Sew the shoulders and sides together.

For the neckline, armholes and slit roll the edges once and then twice. Pin it and sew them down.

Cut the fabric on the fold.

Cut 2 belt ties about 3 inches wide and whatever desired length.

Fold each individual tie in half, put right sides together and sew. Leave the edges open.

Grab a safety pin and use it to turn the belt ties inside out.

Sew the belt ties to the dress.

I made a belt opening by leaving a measured space open in the side seam. Snip around the opening and pin it back. Then sew a square around it to secure it. Hem the bottom of the dress and boom you are finished!

Happy Sewing and God bless.
