Inspiration...The Shirtdress

I really like a nice shirt dress and this one by Eileen Fisher is very nice:


It is made from silk georgette crepe.  The style is a-line with a self-tie and a 10" back vent.   I really like the fact that it is machine washable.  This dress is long.  It's listed as being 46" and on me that would be close to my ankles.  The price tag is $398.  You should check out on the Eileen Fisher website. There is a video showing how beautifully this dress moves.  Anyone know where to get washable silk georgette crepe?

Here's a pattern that might work will for a duplication:


This is Vogue 8903.  Most of the details are there.  Well, maybe not the length.  It would need to be lengthened with a vent added for that.  This one you can make short-sleeved and be ready for spring, summer, and maybe fall. 

Okay off to see if there is actually washable silk georgette crepe available to the home sewer.

Happy Stitching!
