Closet Case Patterns : Fiona Sundress
With a loose, body-skimming silhouette and a number of interchangeable design features, the Kalle Shirt & Shirtdress is the ultimate in chic, easy dressing.
View A is cropped with a wide faced hem, View B is a tunic-length shirt inspired by classic men's oxfords, and View C is a stylish shirtdress with a high-low hem. All versions feature a subtly curved yoke, kimono sleeves with arm cuffs, and a dramatically curved hem. Personalize your Kalle with a standard or band collar; an optional breast pocket; an inverted or box pleat; and a button, popover, or hidden placket.
