If you make another wrap dress I hope you post it on Stitcher´s Guild, as I said, I love wrap dresses and to see how others make them!<br />Anna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14305593613575353650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295801689121587001.post-48237239553393697262014-02-17T17:51:19.505-08:002014-02-17T17:51:19.505-08:00Anna, it's lovely--so sophisticated.

This is such a wonderful pattern. I've used it myself, and you have just reminded me that I should make it again soon. It never goes out of style, flatters the figure, and feels comfortable to wear.

I am interested to hear that you usually go for the lighter colours near the face. I think that if I had a chance to make this dress again, I would actually reverse the order - there is something about how it now divides up the upper body that I am not completely in love with and did not quite foresee when draping. But hindsight is 20/20, and all in all I am very happy about the dress.Anna B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14305593613575353650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3295801689121587001.post-18447252200397250002014-02-16T07:01:40.490-08:002014-02-16T07:01:40.490-08:00Anna, your wrap dress is really pretty.

In general, I tend to bring the light up to the face, so as to make the face the focus of the garment. It's interesting, therefore to see the shading done in the opposite way. It works nicely on you. You did a lovely job in matching all of the snakey stripes at each seam and coordinating them for each pattern piece. As I said, it's so thoughtfully done that it is a pleasure to behold.
