Rosa shirt and shirt dress

Reviewed by ArgyroK on 21st June, 2017

Rosa pattern is a shirt dress or a shirt with ’70s vibe! It has a semi-fitting shape, with princess seams both front and at the back. Also, the sleeves are rolled-up in a 3-quarter length with narrow button tab that holds them up. Finally, it has two beautiful pointed pockets at the front and a gently curved dropped hem with flared skirt.

CONSTRUCTION

I decided to make my Rosa dress with short sleeves. I kept ~1/3 of the 3/4 sleeve in order to have short sleeves. Then, I zic-zac the bottom edge of each sleeve and simply I rolled them up twice. If the weather was cold enough I would have chosen to make the dress with long sleeves because I really like how it looks! Can’t wait to make the long sleeved version for the upcoming Fall! […]

FINAL THOUGHTS

I’m soo pleased with my Rosa dress! I have worn it a ton since I made it! The cotton fabric works perfectly for the summer and it feels good against my skin. I’m looking forward to making another Rosa dress for the Fall! I would looove to use a navy corduroy! Haven’t made a Rosa dress yet? Go and make one for yourself! […]
