In my opinion, you can’t have too many shirt dresses, especially one that is classic and figure-flattering. Those are the qualities that I kept in mind when I created the Chai Shirt and Dress pattern. I am excited that the pattern is now in the shop!

This button-down, fit-and-flare shirt/dress pattern has a classic collar and a collar stand that are surprisingly easy to put together. If you haven’t done a shirt collar before, I think this is the perfect pattern to cut your teeth on. In fact, we have several testers who never created a classic collar and collar stand before, and they ended up with beautiful results.

For the first week of release, the Chai Shirt & Dress pattern is 20% off. The volume discount still applies! Remember to check out other patterns while you are at it: spend $20 or more, get 15% off your entire cart; spend $30 or more, get 20% off your entire cart!

The Chai Shirt & Dress also feature a close-fitting waistband that sits high on the waist (the bottom of the waistband seam is at the waist). I really like that feature because it elongates my legs; I need all the help (and optical illusion) I can get in that department. I don’t think anyone would dislike having long legs.
