Vintage-inspired Shirtdress
SEWING LIFE - Vintage-Inspired Shirtdress
With this shirt dress, the fabric truly determines the style!
It’s a simple enough design: A shirt dress with inspiration from the late 1940’s – mid-1950’s. The dress has a soft collar and a lapel, which is a typical design-detail from that era. You can choose between either a rounded collar and lapel or the more traditional sharp corners.
The dress has princess seams that continue into the gores of the skirt. The skirt has some fullness, which will be especially emphasized in stiffer fabric, but it will also look great in a softer, more drapey fabric.
The patterns come in size 34 – 54.
In the magazine, you will find a HUGE fitting guide (shown on two different body types). There are articles on interfacing and fabric, plenty of styling inspiration, and of course, we show you how to sew everything step-by-step
