Elodie Wrap Top

July 8, 2021

I’m planning on making an Elodie Wrap Dress for a wedding in August, so I decided to make a top version to test it out instead of making a muslin.

I measured around 13.5″ up from the bottom of skirt of the above the knee view and followed the curve of the hem all the way around. The length is perfect for me!

The top is totally wearable but I think I need an FBA since the front waist is pulling a bit. I’m right between the two size ranges and I went with the smaller. I’d be able to use Closet Core’s extended size range but I bought the physical pattern from Stitch, so an FBA it is! It actually fits across the chest well so I think I just need to add a bit of length in the front. I’ll probably make an actual muslin in order to test that before I make the dress.

This fabric is is a rayon from Stitch and it is SO pretty.

We met 40 years ago as tiny bebes in the park, and through the years we drifted apart several times but always found each other again at various dance recitals, school field trips, beach clubs, fabric stores, and summer jobs. The universe kept shoving us together til it stuck. This quilt is a hug from afar. I might not be able to get up to New Jersey frequently but this quilt will be there for cozy/comforting times as needed. 

I picked out my fabric, then used a quilt generator at savoreverystitch.com (the last slide), then imported it into Photoshop and colored over it (second to last slide), basically changing the whole thing, but it was an awesome starting place.
