The Kelly shirt dress is designed for woven fabrics, with a fitted darted bodice and lightly gathered skirt. 
It features inset diagonal style lines on the front and back which you can sew plain, or add the optional ruffle into the seam for a playful extra. 
The darted bodice also includes three different bust fit styles so you can spend less time fitting and more time enjoying sewing! 
The tailored elements such as the stand collar and seamed-on button band are balanced with more simple gathered puff sleeves and a gathered skirt. Choose from short puff sleeves or three-quarter length, and two length options for the skirt. 
This is a great skill-building pattern, with lots of core sewing techniques to practice and perfect with our thorough instructions. We hope you love all the details!

Note from Jo, designer: You may be wondering why we don't have a beautiful photoshoot to accompany this pattern. I am currently suffering from severe Long Covid and have had to suspend many activities, including sewing.
In the meantime, thank you for your patience and support in this extremely trying time. 🤍

Materials 

Fabric

Kelly is designed for light to medium-weight non-stretch wovens, such as chambray, poplin, shirting, flannel, double gauze, swiss dot, stable viscose/rayon, and linen.

Interfacing

1.1m (1.2 yards) of lightweight woven fusible interfacing.
0.5m (0.6 yards) of lightweight soft flexible interfacing.

Notions

Thread, thirteen buttons with a diameter of 1.3cm (1/2”) to 1.5cm (5/8”). Some views will require less buttons (see buttons table in materials chart).

Fabric requirements

Allow extra fabric if lengthening the garment, or cutting large scale prints.

See image slideshow for the fabric requirements charts.


Skill level

Kelly is labeled as an advanced pattern, but is a great choice for intermediate sewers that want to upskill themselves. The detailed instructions will help with the tailored elements such as the stand collar and button band. For an easier sewing experience, pick a stable, opaque fabric.

Forget-me-not patterns are designed for a height of 5’6” (168cm).

A Good Value
Size: Small, Color: Black, Size: Small, Color: Black
The suit is a good value. Ordered for senior prom for my son. He is 5’10 athletic build and between 165-170 lbs so we ordered the small since he wanted a slim fit and nothing that would be very loose. The suit fit him great, not too snug , the jacket has a satin finish on the lapel and edge of pockets which gives it an elevated elegant look. The jacket has an interior pocket but the rest are just for aesthetic as they do not open. I did have to cut a small slit in order to use the pocket square. The pants fit like a glove but you may want to size up if you are very muscular. The material is light weight which is perfect for prom season or warmer weather. The vest was oversized but we were not planning to use the vest anyway. Quality: several hanging threads that needed to be snipped but no big deal, the stitching was even and straight and the interior had piping of a complimentary fabric. After a full night of dancing and activities he did not have any issues with stitching breaking or splitting of seams. The buttons are black with a silver edge which give the suit some sophisticated flair but keep this in mind if you plan to style with gold. Overall, I am very pleased with this suit considering it’s price point. It’s perfect for a teen that will attend various senior events. Shipping took 2 weeks so plan accordingly and pay attention to the expected delivery date.

Decent Tux but no customer service
Size: XX-Large, Color: Deep Grey
Decent tux for the money. Wish that we could have ordered different sizes for the jacket and the pants. The vest/jacket fits great but the pants were too big. Ended up having to buy separate pants. The add says that if you email them for a different size, they will help you out, but we never heard anything back from our email.
