Shirt dresses are still running strong. This particular shirt dress is a little different:
This is the Denver Eyelet Belted Shirtdress by Lafayette 148 New York. Price tag: $798.00. Details: Spread collar, button front, elbow sleeves, dropped waist, a-line silhouette, d-ring cloth belt, below the knee, cotton lining, approximately 44" from shoulder to knee.
I really think this is the same fabric from the last inspiration post. However the dress is lined and that makes it much better. I would love to add this dress to my summer wardrobe but the price is not something I would pay for a dress.
I think this would be easy to duplicate with a shirt pattern that is already fitted. You might need to add a little to the circumference to get the loose effect, decide where you want the gather to be and then add/substract length to the bottom of the shirt, and decide on the best length of the dress for you. The gathered amount should probably be 1 1/2 times the bottom of the shirt.
Happy Stitching!
