Buy the Ada Dress, Top and Skirt sewing pattern from Sew Me Something. The dress has a simple wrap shape and is incredibly straightforward to make up. The crossover sits high enough to be comfortable, but you can always add a hidden snap fastening underneath if you prefer a bit more security. The dolman sleeves cover the shoulders and upper arms. The dress has two skirt options: A-line or flared. The pattern also includes options to make a peplum top or a skirt.
