CONSTRUCTION
The Wrap It Up Dress is worked from the top down, beginning with the back neck and shoulders and then working down to the armholes. The stitches for the sleeves are placed on hold whilst the body is shaped down to the hem. Sleeves are picked up and worked in the round down to the wrist before finishing with the i-cord. The dress has made to measure elements from the waist to accomodate each knitters desired wrap depth and button placement.

This garment is worked seamlessly from the top-down using the contiguous sleeve method developed by Susie Myers, SusieM on Ravelry (http://www.ravelry.com/people/SusieM).
