https://www.etsy.com/listing/188684456/lp-pattern-1031-classic-wrap-dress-and?Lee & Pearl's latest pattern – an iconic wrap dress and peplum top – offers the same combo of vintage style and modern practicality as Ms. von Furstenberg's 1974 original. Our dress features front pleats for a flattering fit, fabric ties, an optional wide, flat collar and your choice of long sleeves, cap sleeves or no sleeves. The moderately flared skirt can be cut in one of three hem lengths: traditional knee length, free-flowing "maxi" (ankle) length and our favorite: a coordinates-with-everything peplum top length.
Just like the original, our wraps look great in moderately-stretchy jerseys. Also like the original, the simple, clean lines work well with those slightly larger scale prints that you've loved, but set aside as too big for 18" doll garments.
But even better, our wrap dresses and tops can be made with easy-to-sew NON stretch fabrics, like cotton voiles or even quilting cotton.
***
As stretch jersey fabric can require more careful handling and pressing, this pattern is rated for INTERMEDIATE sewers if made out of stretch fabric. If made out of woven cotton, it is rated EASY/INTERMEDIATE. And as always, Lee & Pearl's photo-illustrated directions and computer-drafted, guaranteed-to-fit-together pattern pieces make construction as easy as possible.
