With a loose silhouette and a number of interchangeable features, the Kalle Shirt and Shirtdress is the ultimate in cute, casual dressing. All versions feature a subtly curved yoke, short dolman sleeves with arm cuffs, and a dramatically shaped hem.

Choose a standard or band collar, an optional chest pocket, an inverted or box pleat, and button, popover or hidden placket.

View A is cropped with a wide-faced hem, View B is a tunic length shirt inspired by classic men's oxfords, and View C is a stylish shirtdress with a high-low hem.

Skill Level: Intermediate

Size Range: 00-20

Suggested Fabrics For a fluid, drapey garment use a soft woven fabric like Tencel, linen, rayon challis and silk crepe de chine. Crisper fabrics like poplin, chambray, voile, flannel and traditional shirtings will create a more structured silhouette.
