Shirt Dress Sewing Pattern, The Assembly Line

A classic outfit. The Shirt dress features a slight A-line silhouette and is designed to end at mid-calf length. It comes with a regular collar, a front button placket and two different cuff sleeves to choose from − one full length and one that ends at the elbow. And pockets of course!

The pattern is wonderfully versatile and can be changed with the help of our pattern extensions, you can choose both different sleeves and collar styles. 

The pattern comes carefully packaged in an envelope together with step-by-step sewing instructions.
