The Beckers Woven Dress sewing pattern is a versatile design that gives you two looks in one – a polished collared dress or a relaxed pull-on long shirt. Featuring a collar and collar stand, half placket, gathered bodice and fitted skirt with darts, the dress option creates an effortless silhouette that works beautifully in linen for an easy office-ready outfit. Optional inseam pockets, a waist tie and sleeve variations let you customise your perfect handmade look.
For a more casual style, sew the loose-fitting long shirt with its curved hem and wear it as a relaxed beach cover-up or everyday layering piece. With short or long sleeve options, optional sleeve tabs and shorten/lengthen lines, this sewing pattern is ideal for creating a versatile wardrobe staple you’ll wear season after season.

I love the style of this, I made it into a longer dress and I wear it a lot, it’s just such a simple throw on style. Having a video of the construction is great, I used it to see how the placket was done and it was easy to do after watching and looking at the tutorial.
This will become one of my go to patterns for a quick win and an easy wear dress or longer shirt.

The pattern is lovely and the instructions are easy to follow. I’m very disappointed in the restriction on making garments for sale. Most pattern makers allow at least five.
