Effie Shirt Dress Sewing Pattern
Meet Effie.
The hidden button placket on this chic, stylish and contemporary shirt dress gives it a clean, streamlined look and really lets your fabric do the talking. No more stressing over your button choice, instead choose a fabulous print or a luscious plain fabric, and it shine!

Medium/dress weight viscose/rayon, crepe, linen, cotton and chambray. Choose a lightweight or medium weight fusible interfacing suitable for your chosen fabric.

Been saving this one for a while and excited to finally share! ..meet the #MSP_Effie by michellesews_patterns 😍
I was so excited when Michelle reached out asking if I’d like a preview version of the Effie dress. I love a shirt dress and this is the more classic silhouette that was missing from my wardrobe – a straight skirt, classic cap sleeves with a hidden button placket.
I made my Effie in a loud tropical print 🌴🍍🍹🌺 and the drape of this viscose feels just amazing! I’m looking forward to try the pocketed version in a linen or even lightweight denim.
Pattern: #msp_effie by michellesews_patterns size 40 no mods (next time I’ll size down to a 38)
Fabric: Viscose from newcollectiontextil

Effie pattern release is happening 🤗🤗 🤗
This is a classic A CLA-SSIC shirt dress! I made a size 12 with no alterations. I typically have to make an alteration from my high bust /arm cycle and didn’t have to on this pattern. The instructions are straight forward, and for me, pretty simple to follow. I have previous experience making collared button-down shirt but would say this is probably an intermediate beginners pattern or maybe a beginner intermediate?
