So versatile as both a dress and a coat

Reviewed by AlexJudgeSews on 23rd May, 2020

I loved making this dress, it would look great in a floaty fabric as a dress, but I knew that I’d wear it more often as a light summer coat or outer layer so I chose a mid weight linen.  It is for a more experienced sewist, someone who’s made plackets and isn’t afraid of a little hand sewing (I hate hand sewing and coped).  With options to make it as a shirt, a dress and a coat it’s a wonderfully versatile pattern – if you’d like to hear more and see my version as a dress head over to my recent video https://youtu.be/9EwgV8vWDAk
