TRINA is a classic wrap dress that features gathers above the bust and a cross-over front bodice that creates a deep V-neckline. The raglan sleeve transitions into a boxy, flowing shape. At the sides, the bodice front overlaps the back, allowing the tie to exit and wrap around the natural waist.
Version 1: Create a tunic with the hemline ending just below the hip. The tie in this version is made with a contrasting fabric.
Version 2: Create a dress with a hemline ending just below the knee. You may choose to line the skirt portion of this dress.

Recommended fabrics:
Self & Contrast: Light to mid-weight fabric with a soft drape, such as double gauze, voile, chiffon, georgette, charmeuse, crepe de chine, or rayon challis.
Lining: Compatible with fabric such as bemberg or acetate lining. If you are a beginner, choose a stable fabric such as voile or double-gauze. Fine fabrics such as silk charmeuse add a layer of difficulty to this pattern.
