Cartwheel Wrap Dress
The adorable Cartwheel Dress from Oliver+S is a fun, modern twist on the classic wrap dress. While a typical wrap is sewn together at the sides with the crisscross opening at the front, this popover-style dress instead goes on over the head, with the skirt sides and ties wrapping around to fasten with hidden velcro and a cute bow. The multi-paneled A-line skirt has lots of flare for spinning, while the overlapping front and back layers provide a lot of coverage without risk of any surprises -- because the last thing a little girl wants to worry about is whether her dress is revealing!
This style of wrap, combined with the hidden velcro, makes it a very adjustable garment that’s perfect for rapidly growing tots. It’s perfect as a springtime or summer dress or as a cute and convenient swimsuit coverup because it goes on so quickly and easily. This simple but stylish look features built-in cap sleeves and a simple button & loop closure at the back of the neck; with just a few pattern pieces and no buttonholes or zippers, this beginner-friendly project goes together faster than you would expect, with a fun and unique construction that might surprise you!
This pattern offers two different views; View A has a cute bow in the front, while View B has the bow in the back.
Recommended Fabrics:
This pattern is designed for light- to medium-weight woven fabrics such as quilting cotton, voile, lawn, shirting, poplin, broadcloth, and linen.
Notions:
You will also need coordinating thread, featherweight fusible interfacing, one 1/2" button, and sew-in Velcro® or a snap.
Sizes: 12 sizes, ranging from 6 months to 12 years.
Difficulty: Advanced Beginner
