This weeks DIY is a knit wrap dress. I‘ll explain the pattern construction process in detail and sew the piece with you step by step.
The fabric is a synthetic knit that has a ribbed texture to resemble the hand-knitted dress on the inspiration picture. I used 2.5 meters.
I drafted the bodice slopers with the help of a tutorial. Learn how draft your own bodice block with this blog post by In the Folds: https://inthefolds.com/blog/2016/2/22/how-to-draft-a-bodice-block (unsponsored, it's just a really great tutorial).
