The Fort is a double-wrap dress that is as equally effortless to put on as it is to wear. Worn like a shirt, you close the top, wrap the skirt and you're done. A perfectly tucked effect without actually having to tuck anything. Gentle pleats at the waist and an asymmetrical hem make it feel just the right amount of elevated, but still wearable day to day.

 

Our patterns come in PDF format for use at home, copy shop or projecting with both size ranges included. The DD range comes in sizes XS - XXL and the JJ range comes in sizes 1X - 5X.

    Looking forward to sewing this pattern!

    This pattern looks so appealing and I can’t wait to cut it out and start sewing. I just recently set my sewing room up for projector sewing, and this will be my first pattern. I don’t anticipate any problems, although I may have technical issues with the projector and computer set up. The pattern itself looks well laid out and it’s a classic that I think will look good on me.

    Great fit on the first try

    I have narrow shoulders & a large cup size. Wrap patterns often end up too low and revealing or too high and awkward. This was just perfect. I did my usual forward shoulder adjustment, otherwise went with a straight 1X. The front shows just enough to give great proportions but I don’t feel exposed or uncomfortable wearing it anywhere. I left the sleeves off to make it more hot-weather friendly and on my petite-ish frame it still hits my elbows. I made this out of a cupro bengaline. I got so many compliments on the dress. It is a great blank slate for beautiful fabric. I think it would be fairly simple to turn this into a 2 piece set & might try that on the next round.
