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. 

Sizing

Available in sizes 28 - 56, with small, medium, and full bust options. 

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

See image slideshow for the sizing charts. There is also a full explanation of how the bust sizing works in the pattern instruction booklet. See our sizing page for additional information on Forget-me-not sizing.

These are very thick pillows.
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
Exactly as advertised. They are very firm and very thick. They're too thick for me to be able to use as bed pillows. However, they seem to work pretty well as cushions in my papasan chair on top of its normal cushion also work very well as decorative pillows. I'm still giving them four stars because they're exactly as advertised and they seem well made. My only complaint is that they're just too thick. And that's definitely not the fault of the pillows or the pillow maker.

how good the product is
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Standard
These pillows are soft, fluffy, and surprisingly supportive for the price. They’re comfortable no matter how you sleep — whether on your side, back, or stomach — and they maintain their shape well overnight without going flat. The fabric cover feels smooth and breathable, keeping things cool through the night. After a few days of fluffing and use, they settle nicely into a perfect medium firmness. They also wash and dry easily without clumping. Overall, a great‑value pillow set that offers comfort, versatility, and quality — ideal if you need an affordable yet cozy bedding refresh.

Firm and comfortable
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Standard
These pillows are well made. Firm, yet comfortable. I am pretty rough with my pillows. I toss and turn frequently. After one year, they are still holding up.
