Hot Patterns Free Download- Cabriolet Wrap-Over Skirt/Dress

HO skirt dress.jpg

From Hot Patterns, this Cabriolet Wrap-Over Skirt Dress behaves similarly to the ever-so-popluar infinity dress. It's a little confusing at first, but the more you play with it, the more wearable options you come up with! The skirt mode is pretty easy- just pull your tie pieces through and wrap till there's nothing left to wrap, and then tie.  For dress mode- The pattern indicates it is meant to be an empire waist dress, which is very cute, however you can create other options as well! When you're styling it as a dress, be patient and get creative!

A very easy project, the hardest part was cutting out the pieces! And that wasn't really "hard" per say, it was just time consuming. I love how fun and flirty it is! I used coordinating fabrics from the Greenfield Hill Voile collection by Denise Schmidt. I loved the sweet, romantic prints mixed with the geometric designs of this collection- and it's on sale!

Very cute! I am a beginner sewer - how much material do you need to do the two different fabrics? I saw that it is a total of 3 yards.

Thank you.
