A shirtdress turned summer coat

Shortened by 15cm, omitted buttons. Fabric is heavyweight linen. Only issue is the side seam pockets flapping about because the coat is open; perhaps patch pockets would have been better. Straightfoward sewing with good instructions for the collar.

Coffee with your besties? Indira. Heading into the office? Indira. Skipping town for the weekend? Indira. In short: the Indira has you covered! This comfortable tunic dress with a slight A-line cut has shaped sleeves with wide wrist trims. It looks a treat made up knee-length, but you're the boss! Wear it with a pair of jeans, leggings or cosy tights. Oh, and it has pockets!

Fabric advice

There are so many fabrics that would work well with this dress. Our preference is for fabrics with a fluid drape, such as crepe (whether viscose or polyester), viscose fabrics in a print, cotton, chambray (for a denim look), denim or suede, etc.
