Buy the Rosa Shirt and Shirt Dress sewing pattern from Tilly and the Buttons. This shirt or dress has a lovely semi-fitted shape thanks to gently curved princess seams. The front yoke, pointed back yoke and forward shoulder seams look stunning highlighted with decorative topstitching or piped seams. Rosa has a two-piece collar and stand, with a separate button stand facing so you can make a feature out of contrast fabric. Three-quarter length roll-up sleeves are held up with narrow button tabs. Additional details include mock felled seams, a curved dipped hem, and optional pointed pockets.
