Inspiration...Shirtdress

The shirtdress has been going strong for a while and they are still going strong for spring.  Here's another lovely version:

This the Lafayette 148 New York Doha Stately Stripe Short-sleeved Shirtdress..  Price tag: $848.00.  Details:  spread collar, button front, short sleeves, center back box pleat, flap chest pockets, self belt, sheath silhouette, and side slit hem.

Here's a pattern that matches the silhouette pretty well:

This is McCall's 8031.  View B seems to match the inspiration picture pretty good.  I would use the short sleeve from View A as the only change.

Happy Stitching!
