Sewing pattern Reeta shirt dress - PDF

Reeta is a classic, loose-fitting shirt dress with simple but thought out details. The dress has pleated breast pockets, a shirt collar and a waist gathered with a cord. The turn-ups of the t-shirt sleeves and the deep vents on the midi-length hem add carefree character to the dress.  

Materials and supplies: 

- fusible interfacing, 160cm

- Small buttons, 10 pieces

- 2 cm ribbon for drawstring casing, 160cm

- Cord for drawstring, your waist circumference + 70 cm

This pattern comes with plenty of ease. Check the finished measurements for your size and, if necessary, select a size smaller than usually if you want the garment to be more fitted. 

Fabrics suggestions: 

Choose a light weight or medium weight non-stretch shirting.

Use a drapey fabric such as rayon, or a less drapey fabric, such as lightweight linen, if you prefer. 

The fabric requierements include 5% allowance for shinkage. Note that the fabric consumption may be a greater for fabrics with a pattern and for fabrics that need to be cut in one direction.
