Due to fabric rationing, the design features darts, pleats, tucks, and small gathers for visual interest rather than full skirts and sleeves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBased on an original hand-sewn dress from the late 1940s, when fabric became more available, it served both daily wear and evening outings. The dress showcases an intriguing bodice construction with shoulder and waist pleats and darts, complemented by a shawl collar. Skirt darts enhance the silhouette while providing comfort in the hip area. Elbow-length sleeves with cuffs ensure versatility for year-round wear, while an invisible side zipper ensures a seamless closure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Fabric\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLight to mid weight woven fabrics with good drape like cotton batiste and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.croftmill.co.uk\/cotton-lawn-dressmaking-fabric\" target=\"_blank\"\u003elawn\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.croftmill.co.uk\/viscose-challis-fabrics\" target=\"_blank\"\u003erayon challis\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.croftmill.co.uk\/search?options%5Bprefix%5D=last\u0026amp;q=pure+wool+crepe\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewool crepe\u003c\/a\u003e, wool gauze, silk noil or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.croftmill.co.uk\/search?options%5Bprefix%5D=last\u0026amp;q=silk+crepe\" target=\"_blank\"\u003esilk crepe\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e3\/4 yd (69m) \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.croftmill.co.uk\/interfacing\" target=\"_blank\"\u003einterfacing\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e5x 1\/2″ (13mm) \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.croftmill.co.uk\/buttons-haberdashery-dress-sewing-accessories\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ebuttons\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e14″ invisible \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.croftmill.co.uk\/zips-online-at-croft-mill-uk\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ezipper\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Croft Mill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516826837324,"sku":"247","price":17.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/8355\/6428\/files\/folkwear_lindy_shirtdress_pattern_3.jpg?v=1759384641","url":"https:\/\/www.croftmill.fr\/products\/folkwear-lindy-shirtdress-pattern-xs-3xl","provider":"Croft Mill","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
