How to make a goddess scarf/wrap dress

Step 5 Pinning

With the wrong side of your fabric on the outside, either on a dress form in your size, or on yourself with the help of a friend, pin the two points marked C and D above your bust line where you would like them to sit when finished (see first image). This will make a triangle over each breast, with the corner of the fabric pointing up to the shoulder where you want the straps. Make sure the shorter side of the rectangle is towards your under arms and the longer side is towards your cleavage. This will make a V neck shaped that will be the front of the dress.

Take the outside edge and wrap it under your arms to meet in the middle of your (or your dress forms) lower back (see third image).

Pin a seam together along the edge of the fabric as shown in image 4.

Remove dress from dress form leaving the back seam pins in place and sew back seam together.



*note that images 3 and 4 in this section show the fabric with the right side facing--please ignore that and pin it with the wrong side outward--I took these while I was measuring for length rather than pinning the seam, but I thought they were a useful indicator of where to sew.
