From Grainline Studio:
Alder is a loosely fitted, sleeveless shirtdress with two options. View A falls into an A-Line below the bust and features a curved hem, bust darts, and two breast pockets. View B features the same bodice as View A but with a gathered skirt at the sides and back of the dress.
Techniques involved include sewing a straight seam, bust darts, bias facing armholes, adding a shirt collar, gathering, and buttons & buttonholes.
NOTE: At the moment both size ranges of Alder are only available in PDF format. We've sent the pattern to our printer and expect to have the paper pattern in stock in both size ranges this spring.
Recommended Fabrics: Light to medium weight fabrics ranging from silk charmeuse, crepe de chine, cotton shirting, poplin, chambray, sateen, lightweight to midweight denim, linen, linen blends, and flannel. Extra fabric may be needed to match plaids, stripes, or one-way design prints.
