WRAP TOP PATTERN

Well drafted but didn’t like the outcome

The instructions were clear, though I did find that I needed to jump around in the document a lot to skip over the sections that were not relevant to the variation I was making. Given the instructions are already a hefty 36 pages, my personal preference would be to divide the document into sections relevant only to each variant, especially for a digital download. This way I could just print or refer to the section relevant to the variation I am making. I think I could have shave an hour off the make if the instructions were layed out in that way. The drafting of the pattern is good and the garment had no errors. However, I find it very unflattering owing to its uncanny resemblance to hospital attire. I also don’t like how high above the bustline the crossover sits, virtually a few cms below my throat. I made this is a delicate blue nani iro linen cotton blend with a good drape, but was not enough to save the design for me. I think it might look good on someone who is very flat chested and tends to a boyish figure or if you worked in healthcare. I had to make a dress version, but have changed my mind after seeing it on.

Easy and stylish

Unusual design but so simple to make and I need to make more!

It was very good although I got the two front pieces mixed up despite having clearly marked them! It didn’t matter though because the fit is fine and the way the top drapes is lovely.
