The Maker's Atelier Shawl Collar Dress

Buy the Shawl Collar Dress sewing pattern from The Maker’s Atelier. A fluid dress with a shawl collar, folded pleat front detail and handy in-seam pockets. This pull-on style has no zips or fastenings.

The grown-on sleeves with underarm inserts skim the body and allow freedom of movement. Due to the minimal seam allowance at the underarm, the fabric edges need to be finished with an overlock stitch. This is to prevent fraying and avoid bulk.
