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. 🤍

Materials 

Fabric

Kelly is designed for light to medium-weight non-stretch wovens, such as chambray, poplin, shirting, flannel, double gauze, swiss dot, stable viscose/rayon, and linen.

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.

Forget-me-not patterns are designed for a height of 5’6” (168cm).

Warm soft pajamas or lounge wear!
I recently purchased this two-piece pajama set and I’m absolutely thrilled. The fabric is incredibly soft, thick, fluffy and of excellent quality. This khaki color is a buttery honey khaki, its a soothing color. It feels like I’m wrapped in a warm, fluffy teddy bear hug the stitching is impeccable. I love the adorable buttons and pockets on the top. These PJs have exceeded my expectations in every way from comfort, warmth, durability and price. If you’re looking for a cozy high-quality pajama or loungewear set to keep you warm, I can’t recommend these enough. I’m 5’7 and 127lbs I ordered a size M and have a lot of room. Plenty of length. Again Bedsure doesn’t disappoint!

Soft, pretty and cozy PJs
I am 5'3" 140 lbs. and I purchased the size medium, it fits just right. I tried these on right out of the box; they were so comfortable that I didn't even want to take them off to launder them. Of course, I did wash and dry them according to the recommendations and they came out so fluffy, no shrinkage all seams intact. Wearing them is like lounging in a warm cloud. I bought them in the cream and blue colors, the cream color looks just like the website photo. The blue hasn't been delivered yet, but I am hoping that the fit and feel of them is just like this pair. I got them on sale for $19.99, so worth the price.

waist is small
Very cozy, warm, waist is very small although they fit everywhere else. I have an average waistline, not thick through the middle. I had to make a slit in the waistband and cut the elastic. Otherwise they would have been too tight to be comfortable. I have washed them several times and the slit I made in the fabric hasn't raveled or gotten any bigger. I'm happy with these, they keep me warm.

Perfect !
Just as advertised, my elderly Mom loves these bedsure fleece fuzzy pajamas, the color is as shown, they washed up great, they are very thick and well made, they keep her very warm and are super soft ! The size was perfect too. She loves that the shirt has pockets, and although they fit her perfect, she wish the waist was drawstring.
