How I Work With Stripes // Making Another Wrap Top

I get a lot of comments about my stripe matching abilities, but it is easier than it perhaps appears! Today I'm making a new striped top and talking through how I work with striped fabrics, how I line up stripes for this front mirrored effect, and what I look for in a striped fabric. For skirts: I often use the same idea, except instead of lining up the v-neckline with a stripe, I line up the side seam of an A-line skirt-- boom you have perfect center front chevroning again!
