Modern yet classic in a wrap dress
Christine Jonson Patterns #526 (CJPatterns.com)
Dresses are still big on style, and this easy-fitting wrap dress with its graceful skirt is, like the Diane von Furstenberg originals, eternally chic and of the moment. Our tester found the V-neck flattering and slenderizing. The self-lined bodice gives the top added support and structure. The instructions are clear, well written, and come with a bonus-an additional guide sheet with hints on how to select size based on ease preference and what happens to fit when you use different weight and/or weave fabrics.
(Sized XS-XL [4-22] for busts 30.5-48 in. and hips 33-50 in.) *Fast and easy *For knits only
-Tested by Betty Brown, Culver City, California
Style Tip: Go with a graphic print for an authentic von Furstenberg look. She showed her wraps this season in oversize houndstooth prints, bright geometrics, and lumberjack plaids, to name a few.
