Description
The Copenhagen presents an interesting twist on the traditional wrap dress. It includes a sarong-style skirt, billowy sleeves, and a blousey top. You can also choose the short-sleeved version with cuffed sleeves. Both views have side pockets, a neck facing, and a forgiving fit that’s enhanced by pleats and darts. The neckline and skirt ties are especially secure on this dress, which means you can enjoy the ease of a wrap dress without common exposure worries.
Suggested Fabrics
This pattern works best with woven fabrics with some body like cotton poplin, lightweight twill, shirtings, sateen, linen, and double gauze.
Notions
Coordinating thread, lightweight fusible interfacing, two 5/8" buttons for View A.
