DIY Wrap Dress


Need a simple gown in a pinch? We have the perfect solution. Thanks to A Pair and a Spare DIY we have the greatest Do It Yourself dress of all time. All you need is some basic sewing skills and some fabric to create this darling floor length gown. Follow the directions for this party ready ensemble.



The first thing to do is to make a maxi skirt. Create the split by only sewing the top 30cm (or so) of the long seam together. To make the bodice you will need around 2m of fabric – preferably silk, with a width of between 50cm and 1m. 

1. Place the strip of fabric over your shoulder and tuck one end of the fabric into the maxi skirt.



2. Twist and tighten the fabric over your shoulder, making sure to cover your breast properly and bring it around your back.



3. Bring the fabric across the front covering your other breast then bring the fabric around tightly behind your back again.


4. Keep wrapping tightly until you have run out of fabric. When this happens tuck the end into the wrapped fabric and stitch down. Then you're done! Enjoy your new creation.
