Not your average shirt dress

Highly recommended pattern if you are looking for a shirt dress that feels elevated. Love this sleek silhouette that feels a perfect mix between smart and casual.

The finishing techniques involved give a beautiful garment inside and out. Instructions were great throughout, well explained with clear accompanying illustrations.

I made the straight size 14 based on my bust measurement and very pleased with how it fits (even though my waist and hips were a 16, I found there is enough ease to size down). Even though the skirt is long and quite fitted, the buttons finish at the knee and there are side slits so I don't feel at all restricted walking.

beautiful dress

I watch the edit religously, hoping to find that perfect pattern, and last week the Vivi dress was highlighted, it was exactly what i was looking for, so purchased.

on checking the pattern I was between size 20 / 22, so as it was my 1st try I cut out a 22, it fits to perfection, although i do think if you are not between sizes, it will be the perfect fit in your usual size.  The pattern is so easy to put together with one of the easiest collars i have ever sewn.

The dress has waist darts, which just add that extra shaping to stop it being boxy.  Im really pleased with my 1st try and already have material drying for a 2nd.

i made the sleeveless full length version, but will also make both other views.
