Description
Description
Welcome to the wonderful world of sewing! The Wrap Top is a brilliantly approachable pattern designed to guide you through each step, with options to make an easy-to-wear top, longer top or relaxed dress.
The design features two uneven front pieces that create an asymmetric V-neckline, paired with a loose, boxy shape that’s comfortable and flattering to wear. The wide sleeves can be worn at elbow length or rolled up for a more casual look, while the dress version is finished with side slits.
The pattern is drafted using standard women’s length measurements and includes additional pattern pieces for lengthening the top or turning it into a dress. You can also have a bit of fun with colour blocking, making the left front and sleeve in a contrasting fabric – full instructions are included.
Sizing:
This is a multi-size pattern available in two size ranges: XS–L or XL–3XL. Please see the Find Your Size tab for detailed body and finished garment measurements.
Suggested Fabrics:
Plain weave fabrics such as cotton, linen, viscose, wool or blends of these, approximately 120–300gsm. Lightweight cotton twill or cotton-blend twill, approximately 130–240gsm, also works beautifully.

FIND YOUR SIZE
FIND YOUR SIZE
Measurements should be taken directly on your body. Measure your chest around the fullest part of your bust, your waist above your navel, and your seat around the fullest part of your hips.
The Wrap Top has a boxy, generously cut shape, so use your chest measurement as the main guide when choosing your size. If you are making the dress version, check your seat measurement too.
