I have looked for a wrap dress for quite a while and finally found this pattern, Simplicity 1653.
I used some material in the stash, a polyester knit blend in no shine black. (I do not like shiny colors on me!)
It fits comfortably, though I did have to experiment with the sizing AGAIN! I cut it out larger and then made alterations as it was constructed! Not for a novice sewist.
I will be wearing it today to a funeral. I will certainly be buying more fabric to make a dress in olive green-my favorite clothing color!
