Rosa Shirt + Shirt Dress

Rosa has a lovely, semi-fitted shape thanks to gently curved princess seams on both front and back. Our favourite feature is the pointed back yoke, which looks stunning highlighted with decorative topstitching.

You'll learn to construct a two-piece collar and stand, with a separate button stand facing so you can make a feature out of contrast fabric. The three-quarter length roll-up sleeves are held up with narrow button tabs. (Want to make it long sleeved with cuffs? Download the free bonus pattern!) It's finished with mock felled seams, a gently curved dipped hem, and optional pointed pockets.

Please note that the piping detail seen on the Rosa shirt images is NOT included with the Rosa sewing pattern instructions, but is instead available on our blog as a free step-by-step tutorial.
