Have you been thinking of owning a wrap dress?
Do you keep telling your clients 'no time' because you can't make a wrap dress?
Well that's the reason for this blog, to help solve these problems..
Before you read this post, you should learn how to take measurements
Here
In cutting a wrap dress, the front is made of two piece, while the back is one...
Taking the front piece first,
From the pattern above,
A = Burst +
allowance
B = under burst + allowance
C = hip + allowance
D = shoulder width
E = D or D - 1" (depending on your design)
F = length of gown
a = 4" - 5" ( wrap allowance)
b = 3.5"
c = 1" (shoulder slope)
d = 5" (varies)
e = distance from 5" to under burst
Taking the back piece,
From the pattern above,
A = Burst +
allowance
B = under burst + allowance
C = hip + allowance
D = shoulder width
E = D or D - 1" (depending on your design)
F = length of gown
a = 3.5"
b = 3"
c = 1" (shoulder slope)
As always, the back piece is higher than the front piece by 1.5"
