Weekly Timeless Wardrobe, Week 26

Week 26 of the Weekly Timeless Wardrobe have arrived.  You can find Week 26 here.  The introduction chart is always a good place to start if you are just now bumping into this series.  Note: as the series progresses, the chart changes a wee bit.  It should be shown on the weekly posting at the bottom. 

Week 26 is a warm dress.  I have a wonderful long sleeved denim dress from Chadwicks of Boston (closed). It's been around a couple years.  Here's a similar dress:

If you have a shirtdress pattern that is already fitted now is the time to grab it and whip out a new dress.  Otherwise, there are many shirtdress patterns available. Pick the one that suits you best.

Here's another option:

This is Butterick 6388.    This is a cute little dress and goes togther easily.  I've made it a couple of times - once as a long sleeved top and once as a dress which I had added a couple of inches to the length (knee length).  I would make it from a heavy sweatshirt fleece.  I may re-visit this pattern and make it short sleeved with or without the collar.  I'll have to think about it but it would be very easy to do.

Have you been participating in this series?  How has it worked for you?   This is the end of the second quarter  or winter.  How does your wardrobe look?  Is it as conhesive are you want it to be?  Have you found this to be helpful?  



Happy Stitching!
