Has anyone made the wrap around pinafore dress?

Did you use a pattern or guess/drape?

How complicated was it?

Could you add sleeves?

I made one by Merchant And Mills - the Margo. It has a lined bodice and I made it in a heavy linen for autumn/winter. I think it has a sleeved option.
Not complicated at all, aimed at intermediate level.

If you mean one that's an apron that crosses at the back, I lent mine to someone who made a copy for herself.

Mine's like a bit like this but plain and looks like a pinafore when i wear it but I wear it over a blouse and skirt or shorts and t-shirt/bottoms.

Apron

You'd need to adapt the 1st pattern to get more coverage.
I don't think sleeves would work.
