Designer Couture Misses' Mock-Wrap Dress

Slim-fitting dress is draped from back collar, has elastic at waistline, side seam pockets, cap sleeves, and optional self belt. V. 1 is short. V. 2 is long.

Instead of updating this blog, I've been busily scanning patterns for my Etsy pattern shop Abby+Sophia. When I came to this one, I just couldn't put it in the shop. I adore wrap dresses - and mock wraps even more so! No worries about the front wrap staying in place you know.

So I'm thinkin' I need to whip up a version to wear for the remainder of the summer season.
