Shirt (Dress) i
I've made a number of garments from the book Big Clothes, Small Clothes and I have loved each one (okay, except the elastic waist pants, those were a disaster on me.) Lately, I have been obsessed with the shirt dress from Alex Mill but it is outside my budget by about $160. And I knew I could make something similar enough. I had already made the "I" pattern and knew I liked it. The sleeve structure of the I is closer to the sleeve structure on the inspiration but I didn't want the added width for this version. Going with size 1 of the (little) "i" pattern gave me a better fit at the shoulder. I added a slash and spread to give me about 7 more inches at the hem (and 4-5 at the hip) and extended it to the length in the description from the inspiration dress. Unfourtunatly, I'm short as hell, so I chopped two inches off the front at the end. I didn't bother with the pocket or even buttons because I knew I wouldn't wear this one ope
