iGathered Shirt & Shirt dress

With more bust room than the Classic shirt & shirt dress, the iGathered brings drama with gathering at the shoulders to fall delicately over the bust and waist.  Your choice of sleeves for casual or special function wear means this shirt and dress is certainly worth celebrating in a versatile wardrobe.

This pattern comes with a standard, mandarin or frill collar and a range of sleeve extension packs, so you can unleash your creativity and design your own.

The sleeves and collars in the DIY (Design-it-yourself) collection are fully interchangeable with the iGathered shirt & shirt dress sewing pattern.
