Olivia Wrap Dress
The Olivia wrap dress sewing pattern is a delightfully easy-to-wear and versatile classic, that is suited for both work and leisure. The interfacing around the V-neck ensures that the neckline stays neatly in place without exposing too much. The tulip-shaped skirt has pleats at the front waist for added ease and a flattering silhouette. The elastic waist is tied around with a wide belt. This dress pattern also features practical in-seam side pockets.
