Helena Wrap Dress Pattern Review

[@nappiedee]

My name is Helena and I have just bought this pattern. Thank you so much for this pattern review! 🍉🍉

[@sewnao1986]

Hi Helena. Thats brilliant. It’s a lovely design. Need to make it again in another fabric. This one wasn’t right for me in the end. 🍉

I do not understand how this belt is made!! I'm so glad you mentioned that. Can you explain how it comes together?

[@yunalee5461]

I just found your video since I got panicked when I cut the waist pattern. I thought it was misprinted(lol). It still isn't 100% cleared, but I got relieved after watching this video. Thanks!

[@sewnao1986]

I’m so glad. Yes I thought the same!

[@karenlowes7802]

Lovely! I had concerns that such a wide belt might not be that flattering. You look great!

[@sewnao1986]

Thank you! That’s so lovely of you to say. It is a nice shape dress.

Love the dress will have to get it looks very pretty on you

[@sewnao1986]

Thank you so much. I can see myself making more.

I love the blue and green top you're wearing! Your wrap dress is lovely. I'm sure you will make this pattern again; it was very pretty on you. You have inspired me with your fabrics and pattern reviews.

Thank you. That’s really kind of you to say. I’m really enjoying sharing my makes and love if sewing. This one is the Dolly dress from Fibre mood.

I like both the items you showed. I think I will try the dress. If I don't like the grown on sleeves (which I often don't) I might have to alter the bust to a set in sleeve. I tend to get too much fabric bunching a the armhole for my liking with grown on sleeves.

[@sewnao1986]

Thank you. I haven’t worn it out yet (saving for an occasion) but I do know what you mean. I think this one isn’t too bad on that score though.

I chose the in-seam pockets and I can't figure out for the life of me how to combine them with the french seam on the sides of the skirt.

Thanks for your video! I would love to get some help regarding the waistband part. I am totally stuck

[@sewnao1986]

Hi Catalina. What were you stuck with? Was it which pieces to put together and direction or something else. I know the designer has started posting tutorials. There is one for the neck band which has just gone up so more may follow. I can try to help though.
