| The Ladies Wrap #0400 is a very interesting project. I made the wrap of beige silk with a peach over lay of lace. |
 |
| The instruction indicated the bust size was 36 inch, so I enlarge the pattern to a 39 inch bust. I added 1 1/2 inches by cutting the original pattern and spreading. With a French curve the added 1 1/2 inches was blended in. |
 |
| The original computer pattern before cutting and spreading. |
 | |
| The enlarged pattern with the left and right tie laid out on 60 inch wide silk. I cut both the lining and the under lace facing of the same silk. |
 |
| You can see here, the lace, silk, and the white cotton inter facing fabric, which is treated as one unite, to from the top layer of the wrap. |
 |
| The lining is sewn to the top fashion fabric, the seams clipped and graded for smooth turning and pressing. |
 |
| The lace edging is removed from the fabric in preparation for use as the finished trim for the wrap. |
 |
| The lace is hand sewn to the edge of the wrap and the corners are adjusted to fit the finished edge, with small seams. |
 |
| The lace trim is added to the ends of the right and left tie. A rosette was made of the edge trim lace for the finish of the front. |
 |
| Hook and Eyes are added to the front for the closure. |
 |
| The back of the wrap. The lace trim was adjusted to lay flat and the points of the warp adjusted to form a smooth and pleasing appearance. |
