Kielo Wrap Dress Review | Pattern Review

Hi there! Today I am going to share with you my review of the Kielo Wrap Dress pattern. I recently made this dress and I am so excited to tell you all about it. So let’s get started!

First off, let me tell you a bit about the pattern itself. The Kielo Wrap Dress is a beautiful and versatile pattern created by Named Clothing. It features a unique wrap design with a tie closure at the waist, a V-neckline, and a slight tulip hem. The pattern is designed for knit fabrics, which makes it super comfortable to wear and easy to move in.

When I first saw the Kielo Wrap Dress pattern, I was immediately drawn to its modern and stylish silhouette. I loved the wrap detail and the way it nips in at the waist, creating a flattering shape. I also appreciated the versatility of the pattern, as it can be dressed up or down depending on the fabric and styling choices.

For my version of the Kielo Wrap Dress, I chose a beautiful floral print jersey fabric. The fabric was soft and stretchy, which made it perfect for this pattern. I found the instructions included with the pattern to be clear and easy to follow, which was a huge plus for me as a relatively inexperienced sewist.

One of the things I loved about sewing the Kielo Wrap Dress was how quickly it came together. The pattern only has a few pattern pieces and the construction is fairly straightforward, so it didn’t take me long to sew up the dress. I also appreciated that the pattern includes multiple cup sizes, which made it easy to achieve a good fit without a lot of adjustments.

As I tried on the finished dress, I was thrilled with how it turned out. The wrap front was flattering and the tie closure at the waist accentuated my curves in all the right places. I also loved the V-neckline, which added a touch of femininity to the dress. The slight tulip hem gave the dress a modern twist and made it feel very current.

In terms of fit, I found the Kielo Wrap Dress to be true to size. I made a size 8 based on my measurements and the dress fit me perfectly. The wrap design allowed for some adjustability in terms of fit, so I was able to cinch it in at the waist to my liking. I was also pleased with the length of the dress, as it hit me right at the knee, which is my preferred length for dresses.

As for comfort, the Kielo Wrap Dress was an absolute dream to wear. The knit fabric was soft and stretchy, which made the dress comfortable to move in and easy to wear all day. The wrap front stayed in place securely and I didn’t have to worry about the dress gaping open. I also liked that the dress had a relaxed fit while still being figure-flattering.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience making and wearing the Kielo Wrap Dress. The pattern was well-designed, the instructions were clear, and the finished dress turned out beautifully. I felt confident and stylish wearing it, and I received so many compliments on it. I can definitely see myself making more versions of this dress in different fabrics and prints.

If you’re looking for a versatile and stylish dress pattern, I highly recommend giving the Kielo Wrap Dress a try. Whether you dress it up for a special occasion or dress it down for a casual day out, this pattern is sure to become a staple in your handmade wardrobe. I hope you enjoyed this review and feel inspired to give the Kielo Wrap Dress a go. Happy sewing!
