Wrap Dresses---

Blue /Black Check wrap dress

 I just love this dress.I love the way , it buttons down
the side. And look how cute that pocket is..
Olivia Walton's Wrap dress with Scalloped Collar
  I  fell in love with wrap dresses, when I watched the Walton's
 tv show.. Olivia was so well dressed, and each of her house
dresses, were so  flattering. She has several different wrap
dresses on the show.

I am working on a  wrap dress now. The sweet  Eva Girl,
http://theopulentpoppy.blogspot.com/search/label/daily%20dress
has offered some advice on  tweaking this pattern.  All of the
modern wrap dress patterns are too low cut. So, I am trying to
work on a modest neckline, with a new pattern. Hope
 to have photos to show soon.

  3. This dress is so pretty. I know what you mean about wrap dresses, they can hang too low. I can't wait to see what you come up with. I finally got the pattern you did from your last dress. I am thinking of using a knit.

  7. I can't wait to see your dress, Judy! I love the "Olivia" dress...especially the collar. I would love to have one just like it! Isn't "The Waltons" just the best!

    With love,
    Laura

    1. Laura, I really, really love the Waltons and Little House on the Prarie series.. I watch the reruns nearly every day ,ha.
      I have bought several wrap dress patterns, and have tried to work on the front. with no real luck.. All of them are so low cut [eek].. But,hopefully, I will soon get it down . I would love to have bunches of them.ha
      I hurt my knee [with the shovel in the flower bed,yuck] and havent done much sewing, in the past couple weeks..Hopefully, will be able to sew soon.
