This dress is a very casual every day sort of dress. I fell in love with it:
This is the Bib-Detailed Dress from Poetry. Price tag: $278.00. Details: 100% linen, machine wash, long-line relaxed silhouette, collar and stand, bib-detail with placket and pleat, full length sleeves with gathers into cuffs, cuffs with single-button fastening, pockets at the side seams, back yoke with gathering.
I really want this dress. However, I am a little leary of what I might have to pay in tariffs. This makes duplication my best bet. I looked high and low for a pattern and finally found this one:
This is The Niven dress/shirt pattern from Merchant & Mills. Folks it is almost identical to the inspiration photo. I will need to figure out the collar and straighten the hem. That is pretty good for locating a similar pattern. I do not have linen hanging around in the stash but I do have some light weight denim. I purchased it with the intentions of making a shirt dress.
Hope you are inspired to create something wonderful.
Happy Stitching!
