Buy the Penny Dress sewing pattern from Sew Over It. The Penny Dress is an easy-to-sew, utterly gorgeous shirt dress. So stylish and wearable, Penny is a summer wardrobe must-have.
Penny features a sleeveless button-up bodice, flat collar, pretty gathered shoulder panel and easy-fit elasticated waist. The dropped shoulder offers a nod to the 1950s whilst her simplicity will keep you looking contemporary and cool.
Though shirt dresses can often be fiddly, Penny makes for a refreshingly simple sew. With no darts, zip or collar stand to contend with, Penny is a straightforward project perfect for sunny summer days.
Note: An add-on pack (sold separately) is available for the Penny Dress. Use the extra pattern pieces in the add-on pack to make Penny into a tie-front blouse, a tie-front dress or a stylish playsuit!
