Stripe Print Wrap Dress: simplicity 9224

Feb 23

Hey friends! Happy Tuesday! I hope you’re all having a great week! Today, I am so excited to share my latest project! It feels like weeks since I’ve shared something new so I’m happy I have a great dress to talk about! I’ve said it many times before but I’ll say it again for my new friends! I love dresses especially wrap dresses! I think they are so figure flattering and really easy to wear and transition between seasons! This dress is no different! I can totally see myself wearing with heels, flats, and sneakers! It’s gonna be a go-to pattern I’m sure! Let’s get into the details.

the details

I used Mimi G Style x Simplicity 9224 Misses Wrap Dress pattern. I love the entire dress especially the hemline! I don’t have a shaped hemline wrap dress so I had to have it! One thing I found great about the pattern instructions were the hemline finishings. It’s a mitered corner finish on the front skirt and I know that will be great for beginners or those that have never done that technique before to see it, practice it and do it for their dress.

For fabric, I used this Vangogh Stripe Print from Melanated Fabrics! I love the drape and weight of this fabric! It was so great for this wrap dress. I used the other color way for this McCalls top a couple weeks ago!

size + adjustments

For size, I cut the 16 for the bust and waist and merged over to the 22 for the hips. I didn’t make any adjustments or alterations to the pattern. The instructions were also easy to follow and understand.

I used my Husqvarna Viking Epic 95Q to make this dress. I also finished my seams with my Huskylock s25 serger. You can see me working on some of the dress in these two posts here on Instagram. (IGTV, LIVE)
