The Calendar Dress and Shirt

Sale price$31.50 AUD
Size:
A versatile and flattering dress or shirt.

This is a variation of the popular Calendar Dress, designed by Frankie and Ray in 2013.
Popular for it's easy to wear style, and the hint of a smock design without the fullness as the back is plain.
Reworked to create a set in sleeve, or a sleeveless option.

A slightly smock style with a skirt gathered to a front yoke, and a plain back.
Make with either a 3/4 length sleeve with a deep hem to roll up to just above elbow length, or sleeveless.
The sleeveless dress makes a great pinafore style, or can be worn alone.

The dress has fully lined deep patch pockets.
All styles have a bias finished neckline (and armholes for the sleeveless version), and a narrow hem.

Update
Finished the dress and happy to report I love it.
Only thing I altered was taking a bit of the fullness out of the top of the sleeve and added about 10 cm to the length. Quick, easy, perfect !!
I am half way through making this dress and it is an easy piece to make, very clear instructions and I can see I am going to love it. It has the perfect amount of fullness without being sack like and the sleeves are great. I am already imagining the next make in denim with no sleeves and the top in gingham. Really a great pattern, love live love it.

The pattern arrived beautifully packed & in good time, thank you. I’ve started sewing the dress but haven’t finished yet, the fit is good on the body but not sure if I’ll have to adjust the armholes, It probably needs a different cutting line for the sleeveless version. Also notches for the sleeves are always helpful & not on this pattern.
