Pattern variation
A Holiday Shirtdress
Here’s a really simple way to create a pull-on shirtdress using The Holiday Shirt pattern.
When the weather’s hot there’s nothing better to wear than an easy-to-wear, pull-on summer dress. So I’ve been playing around with The Holiday Shirt pattern to create just that.
My version of the shirt dress sits on the middle of my knee when loosely belted at the hip. Take the front and back sewing pattern pieces and lengthen by 36 cm / 14” to create a finished length of 104 cm / 41”. Then make up in the identical way to The Holiday Shirt, except I omitted the slit details at the hem.
The total fabric required 3.20m of 120 cm wide or 2.50m of 150 cm fabric
