The hot days of summer are fast approaching. This dress would be perfect:
This is the Eileen Fisher Side Slit Organic Linen Midi Shirtdress. Price tag: $278.00. Details: approximately 45" long from shoulder to hem, point collar, button front, short sleeves, chest patch pocket, box pleat back yoke, side-slit hem, hem falls below knee, shirt silhouette, organic linen, machine washable.
I love this style of dress. I made this dress last fall and decided then that I wanted a dress for summer as well. The changes are mostly already made. I would need to add additional length and decide about whether or not I wanted the side slits. Of course, the sleeve would be short. Here is the pattern that I used:
This is the Liesl & Co Classic Shirt pattern, It is very well drafted. Instructions for making a dress is on the blog.
Honestly if you have a shirt pattern that you have already fitted, use it. It saves time and money. A quality linen can be found at fabrics-store.com. Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.
Happy Stitching!
