Alder Shirtdress (Sizes 0-18) by Grainline Studio

$25.00

By Grainline Studio

The Alder Shirtdress is the effortlessly chic sleeveless dress that elevates your summer wardrobe. This loosely fitted shirt dress sewing pattern offers two versatile options perfect for work, weekends, and everything in between.

View A creates a classic A-line shirtdress that skims your hips beautifully, with a curved hem hitting just above the knee. The tailored bust darts provide a perfect fit while two breast pockets add both style and function – ideal for keys, cards, or small essentials.

View B takes the same polished bodice and pairs it with a gathered skirt at the sides and back, creating lovely movement and a fuller silhouette that gives the dress a distinctly different character.

The classic shirt collar and button-front closure give you that crisp, put-together look that works season after season. Sew it up in lightweight cotton for summer, cozy flannel for fall layering, or even silk for special occasions.

This intermediate sewing pattern teaches you professional techniques including bust darts for the perfect fit, bias faced armholes for a clean finish, collar construction, gathering, and creating precise buttonholes. Each step builds your skills while creating a garment you'll reach for again and again.

Techniques you'll master: sewing straight seams, bust darts, bias faced armholes, attaching a shirt collar, gathering, buttons and buttonholes.
