Final posting on E0291 Wrap

This has to be one of the loveliest garments I have made in a long time, new or old patterns.  The FBA was easy to do and just check it out to see how I did the adjustments.

I can just see this lovely wrap in the fall with a black turtle neck and skinny pants or a pencil skirt just like this!

Instead of doing a satin trim on the sleeves I did a flat lace that seemed to bring out the best in the soft gray silk.

Pattern Review Checklist:

1.  Pattern Description - Loose fitting spring/fall wrap, a perfect dressy change instead of a sweater
2.  Pattern Sizing - 36 but really just is so loose fitting it would fit the average lady.
3.  Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing  it? No, I used a lace instead of satin for the trim on the sides and made the collar the same color as the body of the garment.  Also, I didn't put the belt on it.
4. Were the instructions easy to follow? I didn't follow directions, just went by the picture.  I forgot to print them out and then found I really didn't need them.  I found out after I had mine almost finished that the layout was printed wrong in the instructions so maybe it was a good thing I didn't follow them.  I also didn't really care for the belt so decided to use a light chain belt.
5. What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Since I am extremely "curvy" I had to do a FBA  so that the front didn't pull up.
6. Fabric Used - silk with lace trim and rayon a lining
7. Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:  See my FBA adjustment at this link.
8. Would you recommend this pattern to others? Definitely, it is something I would wear and would make it again in light wool for cooler weather.
9. Conclusion - A wonderful garment and I would make another one and would recommend it to others.
