Buy the Adeline Wrap Dress and Top sewing pattern from Forget-me-not Patterns. Adeline is a wrap dress and top pattern designed for woven fabrics. Featuring dramatic diagonal pleats in the front and back, this is a wrap dress with a twist. Choose your level of detail, with either a shawl collar or a plain neckline. The sleeves come in short and 3/4 length, and can be plain or pleated. Make the knee-length dress (which includes the option of in-seam pockets), or go for the top view with a peplum. The tie closure makes it easy to wear and easy to sew - no buttons or zips! The detailed instructions will walk you through every step to a beautiful finish.
Bonus: The Adeline pattern now includes a sleeveless bodice option as well!
