I have read suggestions to increase modesty of wrap dresses/tops by using wider neck binding (bias but wider). Would this be successful?

I downloaded this pattern a while ago having found it on a list of free dress patterns. I am new to sewing (less than a year) and due to some missteps, and a slight fear of bias tape, I was unsure if I could make a dress as lovely as this pattern. This week I decided to go for it, using some clearance cotton shirting from my local fabric store (due to my inexperience I don't yet splurge on fabrics like linen). The dress was a super easy, and quick, make. I had to make an adjustment at the shoulders, but otherwise the fit is perfect. I am so pleased with the sophisticated simplicity of the design, and the tutorial was excellent. I will definitely make another!
There is pattern attached, just 5 pages.

Good afternoon! The Pattern pieces are included as an attachment to the 5-page file you are opening. To view the attachment - open the file with Adobe Reader. In the Adobe reader menu select - View - Show/Hide - Navigation Panes - Attachments. Adobe Reader will open a panel that includes the attachment with the pattern pieces. And I'll send you an email with pictures of the steps as well. Hope this helps and have a great day!
The dress looks great, can't wait to sew it, but I can't find page 12 in the pattern. Is there something wrong I'm doing?

I love the partial wrap on the bodice! Less fabric than a full wrap dress but still makes for a stylish look and is breastfeeding friendly! I'll be making more!
Okay, for me I love this style. Will be making this for me to work in my studio in the hot days ahead. I was able to download easy, also found the pattern pieces in the attatchment. Thank you for a nice casual look.
Lovely, great to see so many items with more flattering fits lately. Cant wait to make this.
I love this pdf pattern-especially the ability to print off only the size I need. Ignore the one star review given by another member; all the pattern pieces download, they will open as attachments from within Adobe.
There is only 5 pages of pattern info, no actual pattern included.

Good afternoon - I just sent you an email as well with the screenshot of the steps. To get to the pattern pieces. Open the file in Adobe Reader. In the Adobe reader menu click View-Show/Hide -Navigation Panes- Attachments and Adobe will pop open the attached files. Double click on the file that shows up on the left-hand side of your screen and those are the pattern pieces themselves. Email me if you have any questions ask@fabrics-store.com. Have a great day.
If you have followed my writings and sewing pattern reviews over the last year, then you know how much I'm drawn to a surplice top. This week, my obsession continued by creating the RUBY Crossover Dress in Midweight LAGOON linen. The combination of a surplice top, V-neckline, and elastic waistband creates a very flattering silhouette. This dress hugs the body in all the right spots while remaining comfortable. I'm not much of a dress person, but in the hot summer months to come, I know this linen dress will get lots of wear. It's the perfect piece to pull-on and go. Little effort, big impact. You can read more about this project here: blog.fabrics-store.com/2021/04/08/pattern-review-ruby-crossover-dress-in-lagoon-linen/
What a great pattern! Zero adjustments just a straight size 8/10. The instructions from the tutorial were fantastic. I used a fabric that I had in my stash because this was my first Fabrics Store pattern and I wasn't sure how it would go, so was shooting for at least a wearable muslin and it definitely is! Next step is a version in linen! I think the one change I will make is to increase the pocket size. Thanks for a great, FREE pattern.
