Wax Print Kalle Shirtdress

Super late to the Kalle party but I love this pattern and can see why so many people rave about it. I have made all 3 versions. the cropped one is just waiting for some buttons.

I think my favourite is the dress length.

I cut a size 6 in all versions and the only alteration was to add about 5cm to the length. I was surprised by how many pattern pieces there are!

The instructions are clear and easy to follow and the online sew-a-long really is helpful, especially if you are a beginner sewer. I did find the instructions for the collar construction a bit clunky and ended up using my favourite version, which I think is the Grainline Archer one.
