Grainline Studio Alder Shirtdress

Collapsible tab content

The Alder Shirtdress is the effortlessly chic sleeveless dress that elevates your summer wardrobe. This loosely fitted shirt dress sewing pattern offers two versatile options perfect for work, weekends, and everything in between.

View A creates a classic A-line shirtdress that skims your hips beautifully, with a curved hem hitting just above the knee. The tailored bust darts provide a perfect fit while two breast pockets add both style and function – ideal for keys, cards, or small essentials.

View B takes the same polished bodice and pairs it with a gathered skirt at the sides and back, creating lovely movement and a fuller silhouette that gives the dress a distinctly different character.
