I found it while googling Cotton Wrap Dresses ... i think the cotton is perfectly stiff to stand firmly - you should make more and sell them, it will be a popular buy for curvy women who need structure in the fabric<br /><br />Check out a designer version which sells for hundreds and another popular seller on metrostyle which is a stiff plain mono colour. Your version with the detailed fabric and detail buttons would retail about $150-200 in a department store<br /><br />http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117962832.html<br />Diane von Furstenberg Utility Wrap Dress, $425; at Neimanmarcus.com<br /><br />http://www.metrostyle.com/womens-clothing/mock-wrap-dress-stretch-poplin-french-1.shtmlsusan_ss@hotmailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-74304467959949448542008-10-10T18:45:00.000-05:002008-10-10T18:45:00.000-05:00I love it!

My dressform helps me the most with that adjustment. I just made Simplicity 3875 yesterday, and I actually sewed down the overlap part of the neck just to keep it from hanging open. I used a busy print, so I don't think it will be obvious I did that.<BR/><BR/>Love your dress and most especially the print you used!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16182378.post-92144893977827396552008-10-10T08:15:00.000-05:002008-10-10T08:15:00.000-05:00you have inspired me to get sewing again.
