The dress features practical in-seam pockets and a choice of curved or straight hem. Wear it loose for an easy, oversized silhouette, or add the tie belt and gently blouson the top over the waist to create shape and a completely different look. The dress has been designed with this belted styling in mind, which also brings the pockets into their intended position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe shirt version has the same relaxed shape and statement details, but gives the pattern a completely different feel. Wear it loose, tuck it into trousers or skirts, or use it as an easy layering piece. The sleeves can be worn at three-quarter length with the cuffs on show or casually rolled back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWoven fabrics work beautifully for this pattern. Linen, cotton, poplin and shirting will give a little more structure and really show off that fabulous collar, while viscose or Tencel will create a softer, more fluid silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Studio Shirt \u0026amp; Dress is designed to have a relaxed fit, so it’s worth checking the finished garment measurements before choosing your size. Depending on how oversized you would like it to be, you may prefer to make a size smaller than usual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePattern Sizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e UK 6–26\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggested Fabrics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light to medium-weight woven fabrics such as linen, cotton, poplin and shirting, or lightweight viscose and Tencel for a softer drape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou will also need:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Fabric\u003cbr\u003e\n• Thread\u003cbr\u003e\n• Lightweight iron-on interfacing – 1.2m for the shirt \/ 2m for the dress\u003cbr\u003e\n• 12mm buttons – 7 for the shirt \/ 10 for the dress\u003cbr\u003e\n• Seam sealant such as Fray Check\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Avid Seamstress LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56339142574465,"sku":"SKU-STUDIO","price":21.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2485\/3750\/files\/StudioShirtDressAvidSeamstress1.jpg?v=1790778224","url":"https:\/\/www.clothkits.co.uk\/products\/new-the-studio-shirt-dress-release-date-1-october","provider":"Clothkits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
