Description
The Style Arc Dallas Woven Shirt and Dress sewing pattern offers a beautifully feminine take on classic shirt styling, with the choice of a button front shirt or dress and statement elbow length puff sleeves. Choose between a high collar or traditional two piece collar, with a full bust dart option and optional back waist darts for a slimmer fit. The puff sleeves are gathered into a lining and finished with elastic to create their distinctive rounded shape.
With plenty of details to customise, the Dallas includes an optional modesty panel behind the front plackets, inseam pockets, waist tie and belt loops. The dress features godets for additional shape and movement, while the shirt finishes with a gently curved hem. Button loops add a delicate finishing detail to the front, making this a rewarding pattern for more experienced sewists who enjoy interesting construction techniques.
Recommended fabric
Suitable for lightweight woven fabrics. For the main fabric, choose washed linen, organza, cotton voile or lace. Cotton voile is recommended for the separate lining.
