I made this earlier on this summer, just in time to join Lara and Bree for the sheep day at Spitalfields. It is made from the same fabric as the Whirl Away dress, just in black with blue flowers rather than blue with white, with buttons inherited from my Grandmother.
It's only the second shirt I've ever made, and I'm inordinately proud of the collar and button band! I used this pattern, but I frankensteined on the collar from the Built by Wendy shirt in her book Sew U.
It's been getting a lot of wear, I've been eying up the other pattern views...
I also learned a valuable lesson about backgrounds and skintones whilst I was photographing it. Look Ma! No hands!

sooooo beautiful...
I want one just like that! (I can't see beautiful things...)
and the last picture: great :D
It's lovely - I want me one of those!
Great dress! it's lovely fabric - what a find. :)
Love the dress. I just ordered the pattern. It has been difficult to find a good shirtdress pattern, that is reminiscent of the dresses I made in the late 50's. Those early dresses had a full skirt, but these days I think I will stick with a slimmer look.
You did a great job of the dress. Love the fabric colors. Teal and greens are my favorite. Love the no hands photo. I take photos like that sometimes myself.
Very nice. I like that fabric a lot.
Adorable dress, and I love your haircut!
