Buy the Celia Dress sewing pattern from The Modern Sewing Co. Celia is a classic, long length shirt dress with a collar, lapels, two-piece sleeves and an optional tie belt. The dress is fitted on the shoulders and features an A-line cut with plenty of room for comfort and movement.
Celia can be made in a wide variety of fabrics to suit different occasions and times of the year. Cottons and linens work very well for summer, while light wool suiting could be used for a warmer winter dress. Some fabrics will elevate the piece to feel like a very smart dress, while a more casual fabric will result in a garment that feels more relaxed and easy.
