The Shelby Dress from features a flattering silhouette with unique design elements, including a twist collar, gathered and draped sleeves, and ruching at both the front and back. The pattern also includes a standard skirt base without ruching and offers options for elbow-length or long sleeves, along with three different skirt lengths: 55 cm, 60 cm, and 75 cm. I chose the shortest skirt length, with ruching at both the front and back, and opted for elbow sleeves.
The pattern recommends using jersey knit fabrics that have good drape and offer at least 50% stretch horizontally and 25% vertically. I used ITY fabric from my stash, which worked well because it was light enough for gathering and had a good drape.
The collar was the trickiest part of the construction, but after taking my time to read through the instructions, it turned out to be simpler than I had expected!
This is a beautiful pattern, and I’m already considering making another dress!
