The Kelly shirt dress is designed for woven fabrics, with a fitted darted bodice and lightly gathered skirt. 
It features inset diagonal style lines on the front and back which you can sew plain, or add the optional ruffle into the seam for a playful extra. 
The darted bodice also includes three different bust fit styles so you can spend less time fitting and more time enjoying sewing! 
The tailored elements such as the stand collar and seamed-on button band are balanced with more simple gathered puff sleeves and a gathered skirt. Choose from short puff sleeves or three-quarter length, and two length options for the skirt. 
This is a great skill-building pattern, with lots of core sewing techniques to practice and perfect with our thorough instructions. We hope you love all the details!

Note from Jo, designer: You may be wondering why we don't have a beautiful photoshoot to accompany this pattern. I am currently suffering from severe Long Covid and have had to suspend many activities, including sewing.
In the meantime, thank you for your patience and support in this extremely trying time. 🤍

Interfacing

1.1m (1.2 yards) of lightweight woven fusible interfacing.
0.5m (0.6 yards) of lightweight soft flexible interfacing.

Notions

Thread, thirteen buttons with a diameter of 1.3cm (1/2”) to 1.5cm (5/8”). Some views will require less buttons (see buttons table in materials chart).

Fabric requirements

Allow extra fabric if lengthening the garment, or cutting large scale prints.

See image slideshow for the fabric requirements charts.


Skill level

Kelly is labeled as an advanced pattern, but is a great choice for intermediate sewers that want to upskill themselves. The detailed instructions will help with the tailored elements such as the stand collar and button band. For an easier sewing experience, pick a stable, opaque fabric.

Great top for summer!
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Large
I bought one of these. The v-neck and fit of the tank top is amazing! Flattering! I loved it so much I ordered two more. Great summer tank! Washes and dries fabulously as well. I am 5’4” 150lbs, wear a medium or size 8-10. I purchased a large and love the look. It fits well, not too tight but hugs the body. Not oversized.

True to size & color, modest cut, fitted style
Color: Purple, Size: Small
The cut on these tops are perfect. It's a nice v-neck without being revealing. Thick straps and solid back so your bra doesn't show. Sizing is accurate in my case. 5'6" 130lbs chest 34" waist 26" hips 39" and I ordered the small which is fitted on me. I ordered the lavender purple and a black one and both colors are correct in shade. Soft and stretchy material. I air dry them mostly and only gentle low on the dryer if needed and have not had any shrinking.

A Diabetic Traveler's Best Friend at the Hot Springs!
Size: 13-14 Women/12-13 Men, Color: Black-w001
I'll be honest — I bought these almost last minute before heading out on vacation to the Hot Springs in Carson City, Nevada. As someone with diabetes, I have to be really careful about my feet, especially on rough or hot concrete surfaces. Pool decks and spa areas can be brutal, and I've had too many close calls just walking around barefoot. I grabbed these water shoes almost as an afterthought, and they ended up being one of the best decisions of the whole trip. From the moment I slipped them on, I could tell they were going to do the job. They fit true to size — no awkward sizing guesswork — and they hugged my feet snugly without feeling restrictive or causing any pressure points (a big deal for me). The sole gave me just enough protection from the concrete and wet surfaces around the springs, and I never once felt like I was going to slip. That peace of mind alone was worth every penny. They're lightweight enough that I barely noticed I had them on, and they dried quickly after getting splashed or submerged. No heavy, waterlogged feeling dragging me down. I wore them in and out of the water all day and my feet felt totally fine — no soreness, no irritation, nothing. For someone managing diabetes, that's honestly huge. I genuinely have zero complaints. These delivered exactly what they promised and then some. Whether you're headed to a hot spring, a beach, a pool, or just doing some light water yoga, these are a solid buy. Hope this helps!

Great water socks
Size: 8.5-9.5 Women/7.5-8.5 Men, Color: Shark Blue
Perfect! I’m autistic and this was the last piece of the puzzle for my sensory experience at the pool. They feel like wearing socks with hard soles on and are great for if you need to walk through gravel or anything. They don’t trap water much and the fabric is stretchy and comfortable. I liked the range of colors, I got the one with sharks. I wear a men’s size 8 shoe and I got the same size here, it was the correct size with a little extra room.
