Last weekend, I finished Butterick 5606. This is a simple tank dress with 2 long straps that can be wrapped around in many different ways to produce many different looks from one dress! This dress was super-easy to make-- it is just four pieces, which makes it a quick sew-- and because it's a knit, it's really comfy. I used a beautiful turquoise knit that I found at Goodwill-- it was a 2+ yard piece in great condition.
Since completing it, I've already worn this dress three times. I think this would be a great dress to travel with because it can provide so many looks from one dress. Here are some of the variations on how to wear it:
Wrap 1- Shawl wrap and twist
(My dress form was great to try out different wrapping combos)
Wrap 2- Criss-cross wrap
(I wore this version to a "Laughing Party")
Wrap 3- One-shoulder wrap
(I'm wearing this version today!)
Wrap 4- Double strap wrap
(I look like Eeyore in this photo--had trouble getting a good pic at this time of day)
Wrap 5- Necktie-twisty wrap
(I wore this version to Easter)







It's amazing how many looks you can get from this one dress!
