I know... I know... another Wrap Dress? But this one is different. I PROMISE!

You've probably noticed I have a "thing" for wrap dresses. I've blogged on quite a few, and there are quite a few others hanging in my closet that I have not talked about yet. But... like I said, this one is different.
I'm going to go ahead and put the Mirri Dress up at the top of my favorite wrap or faux wrap dress patterns. The biggest reason... I love the fit!
I had the opportunity to test the Mirri Dress by Wardrobe By Me Patterns. The dress was getting an update to extend the sizing range - YAY! So, it was put through re-testing, and it is AWESOME! This was my first (and second) time sewing the Mirri, although it has been around for a while!
Let's talk about the pattern:
The Mirri Dress Pattern now includes U.S. Sizes 0-24. The dress is fitted at the bust, waist, and hips, and the skirt flares a bit at the hem. The bodice has pleats at the waist, which give the top nice shape. The neckline is high enough to be modest, but still very stylish. The neck is finished with a shawl-style collar, which is very unique, and beautiful. There is one sleeve length (it's more of an extended shoulder). The sleeve piece is built into the bodice and finished with bands. There are four skirt lengths. You can choose between peplum length, around knee length, just below mid calf length, or maxi length. The bodice of the dress hits just above the natural waist, although the pattern has information on lengthening the bodice, if you prefer. The dress goes together surprisingly quickly, and could be perfect for many occasions!
My Dress
For all of my dresses, I sewed View B, which hits just above my knees. I think this length dress is so flattering, however I am anxious to try out some of the other options/ views for this pattern.
I used Double Brushed Poly fabric for all of my dresses. I really love the crossover neckline, because I think it is so flattering on everyone. Also, it is really nice for nursing mamas!

While this is another wrap dress, it has such a different style and shape than any other wrap dresses I own (or have seen available) that I think the Mirri is worth adding to your collection!
