I'm so excited about Pauline Alice patterns from the talented and stylish Pauline who started her pattern business in Spain in 2013. She has created casual and stylish patterns. I appreciate most the silhouette of her patterns, she has created great shape in all of them.
The Cami Dress is a beautiful take on the shirt dress, but with the full skirt it's feminine and won't gape in the lap when you sit down (my chief complaint about shirt dresses). I love all of the versions on her website with a skinny belt too.
Note - Pauline has created fantastic tutorials on her blog for many of her patterns including a step by step sew along for the Cami Dress.
Spark - I encourage you to search Pinterest for lots of fantastic ideas for fabrics to make this dress in, but I think my first version might be in this pretty linen/cotton blend.
Fabric Requirements for 60" wide fabric are (note, for 45" fabric I asked Pauline how much we'd need and she suggested that 3 yards would be plenty for the long sleeve version, View A and if you're making a small size short sleeve version just stick with the 2 1/4 yards)
View A - 2 m. or 2 1/4 yards
View B 2.5 m. or 2 3/4 yards
Note - these are European sizes so please measure before you choose your size and cut out your fabric.
