Inspiration...Button-Front Dress

Today, let's go for a class button-front dress also known as a shirt dress:


This is Lafayette 148 New York Kylie Button-Front Fundamental Bi-Stretch Dress.  Price tag: $598.00.  Details:  Notched collar, button-front, short sleeve, sheath silhouette, knee length, lined.

This would be a nice spring/summer/fall dress depending on the color chosen.  Here's a pattern to consider:


This is Simplicity 8908.  It's a basic shirt dress pattern with a tie belt.  It has three lengths and two sleeves.  Once the pattern is fitted,you have plenty of options.  View D is a close match to the inspiration photo.  Just leave off the front pockets and the sleeve cuff.  Now for the best part, this dress only takes 2 1/4 yards for view D in the largest size.  So if you're fabric was $15 a yard, you could make this dress for about $50.  You can make a lot of dresses for the price of the inspiration dress.

Hope you are inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
