Inspiration...Tartan Midi Dress

 Dresses are always a quick and easy daily look.  Here's a great tartan one:


 This is the Tartan Long-Sleeved Belted Midi Dress by Akris punto. Price tag: $1290.00.  Details:  Self-tie waist belt, collared neckline, long sleeve, barrel cuff, concealed button front, fit and flare silhouette, hem falls below the knee.  

Here's an idea:


This is Butterick 6702.  This is pretty close to the inspiration silhouette.  You might consider removing a little bit of the skirt fullness.   Otherwise, the changes would be adding the concealed button closure, and creating a matching belt.  As far as the concealed button front instructions, there are links to a couple of tutorials here.

You could also consider a vintage shirt dress pattern from the 80s or 90s.  This was a very popular style then.  I have a couple of vintage shirt dress patterns.  

Hope you're inspired to create something beautiful.

Happy Stitching!
