It’s Gonna Be May Blog Hop: The Perfect Woven Wrap Dress

Wrap dresses are the epitome of femininity. They are so figure flattering AND they are nursing friendly. Now I’ve made plenty of wrap dresses before but they’ve all been made from knit fabrics–which I love. But my spring/summer boho-chic look is requiring some more woven fabrics to be used and guys, I have the perfect woven wrap dress pattern. I’m so excited to be participating in the “It’s Gonna Be May” Blog Hop with this pattern!

Petite Stitchery Sunflower Dress–The Perfect Woven Wrap Dress

I was nervous about making this pattern. My friend Kelly made the pattern and when I saw it on her, I knew I had to have it. She has the beautiful, hour-glass shape and this dress was just va-va-voom on her. And now it’s va-va-voom on me!!! The best part about this is that there’s a child’s version as well. There are options galore with this ranging from mini to maxi lengths and flutter to bishop sleeves.

In search of the perfect woven wrap dress? Look no further than the Sunflower Dress from Petite Stitchery. When I tell you this is an amazing dress, I mean it. Talk about perfection!

Pattern Construction

I didn’t print the entire pattern off as I made the flutter sleeve, mini version. Something to note is that the print guide is not correct so if you’re just printing off the mini version, pay attention to that. Other than the print guide, this dress was way easier to put together–both the paper and the fabric versions.

There is no facing or lining so that’s something to note when choosing fabric. This pattern goes together super quickly–especially for a wrap dress. Once everything was cut, it took me under an hour to complete. The parts that took the longest were finishing the edges and then hemming.

Fabric & Styling

I chose a Georgette Crepe that I got from Sincerely Rylee. I loved this fabric so much I actually bought it on two separate occasions! LOL!!! I love the flowy feel that this fabric offers. While they do suggest using a fabric with good drape, I will be trying this out with an Ankara fabric to see how that looks as well.

This is honestly the perfect woven wrap dress for any occasion. The fabric that you choose is really going to be the determining factor in the styling. I’m on a beach vacation and this dress pairs perfectly with flat sandals. But I could totally see it being dressed up with heels or completely dressed down with Converse.

Rating

I gave this pattern a 3 out of 5 needles because it’s a little challenging.

Instagram post 18017779225247809 It’s the final day of freebies for @petitestitchery and I’m absolutely in love with this poncho. I’m about to be like @oprah at Christmas this year like “YOU GET A PONCHO! YOU GET A PONCHO! YOU GET A PONCHO!!!”
.
These are suuuuper easy to make and a fast sew and FREE!
Instagram post 18045888907205954 When I first saw this embroidered black velvet, I immediately knew what i wanted to make. This is suuuuuuper rare for me because I collect fabric as a hobby 😉😉😉. But it literally screamed “MAKE ME INTO A PS I LOVE YOU TOP!!!” And when fabric screams, you listen. 
It was the perfect top to wear tonight as I hung out with some friends.
Instagram post 17855506063666089 I made the new @petitestitchery hat freebie to make hats for the hubs and I! I’m pretty excited about these. It’s always the small stuff that makes me happy!
Instagram post 17902906633401850 Bodysuits have become a wardrobe staple for me. This is the @madeformermaids Tai and I used @sewkatricefabric’s newest Kente-Inspired cotton Lycra to make it.
.
Naturally there is picot elastic finishing because I think this is becoming a trademark.
.
Sew Katrice just dropped new retail and it is BANANAS! Check it out!
Instagram post 18066158950199347 One of the things I’ve been really intentional about this year is creating a cohesive wardrobe of colors I love. Mustard, rusts, olives, and navy are all big in my closet right now and I love it because they all mix and match so well.
.
Both this cardi AND fabric are from @ssefabrics.
Instagram post 18043060906212009 Today I’m rocking all @ssefabrics!!!

I’ve paired it with my @fridaypatterncompany SEABRIGHT swimmer turned bodysuit because high waist jeans!

I’m rocking all @petitestitchery today—the FREE swanky top turned into a crop paired with the Harmony Harems. I used a bullet fabric from @sincerelyryleefabrics to make this look happen.
Instagram post 18082029727091504 Today is the day!!!!! @fridaypatterncompany just dropped the new #IlfordJacket and it is EVERYTHING!!!

There are so many customizations with pockets and length. I made mine from a black Sherpa locally sourced. I saw my friend @fromcarpools2cocktails rocking her jackets last weekend and I knew I had to make one.
