I’ve had this pattern on my mind for a while now and at last, ‘It’s a Wrap!’
The Wrap Top is loosely based on the original Wrap Dress pattern that has been downloaded thousands of times and been one of the most popular patterns on the site so far. This ‘It’s a Wrap’ top has taken some of the best elements of that dress and turned it into a blouse with a few variations that I think you’ll like.
Features:
- Cross-over front bodice
- Loose and casual sleeves with a little flutter
- Pleats on one side to create soft draping across the front
- Can help to hide a prominent tummy
- Slightly shaped at the waist
- Close fitting in the hips
- Flattering look with no awkward ‘gaping’
- Step by step photos and written instructions
- Video tutorial too
- Sizes from 32 to 44 inch bust
This has quickly become a wardrobe staple and I’ve been wearing this one everywhere. It looks equally good in a print or in a solid. The plain color helps to show off the pleats and gathers a little more, but the print looks fab too. I can’t decide which is my favorite.

See, that’s not too difficult and you can certainly make something with a nice fit. Pick the right fabric and tell everyone you got this from a ‘nice’ store and they’ll never know you made this yourself for just a few dollars! My fabric was only $5 a yard – that’s a bargain!
