Buy the Nicole Dress sewing pattern from Sew Over It. Nicole is a classic shirt dress with all the trimmings: buttons all the way down the front, collar and collar stand, and a midi A-line skirt with a gently curved hem. Bust and waist darts in the bodice create a feminine silhouette and you can pick between a gathered skirt or a flat-fronted skirt with darts at the back. And yes, there are pockets!
With two sleeve styles, this pattern can take you from spring all the way into winter. The short sleeve is finished with a stylish turn-up, whereas the long sleeve features a traditional shirt cuff with a bound opening.
Make Nicole in a viscose or crepe fabric for a fluid look, or choose a cotton poplin, cotton lawn or linen for a more structured style.
