Description:

A classic shirt-dress or shirt featuring a bib, grandad collar and cuffed sleeves. Dress has in-seam pockets.

All seam allowances are 1.5cm unless otherwise stated.

Skill level - experienced.

This PDF pattern is made up of 3 A0, and 45 A4 pages. 

Fabric suggestions - We recommend fabrics with a tight weave to help with sewing the fine detailing; light to medium weight wovens such as cotton poplin, cotton chambray, Indian handlooms, hemp/cotton, lightweight denim (4-6oz).

Paper vs PDF

If you order a paper copy you will be sent a printed version of our pattern. If you select PDF, you are purchasing a digital file which will be stored on your account to be downloaded at any time. PDF's will include a tiled, an A0 copy shop file and your instructions. The tiled file can be used on any home printer and stuck together and is compatible with both A4 and US letter paper. Alternatively, you can send off the copy shop file to be printed full size; we can usually recommend someone in your area. If you are in the UK, we would recommend The Fold Line. The instructions can either be printed at home or simply follow along on your computer or phone.
