Buy the Alder Shirtdress sewing pattern from Grainline Studio. Alder is a loosely fitted sleeveless shirt dress with two options. View A falls into an A-line at the waist and features a curved hem, bust darts and two breast pockets. View B features the same bodice as View A but with a gathered skirt at the sides and back of the garment resulting in an incredibly flattering and fun silhouette. The Alder Shirtdress is a perfect breezy option to keep cool while looking great in the spring and summer, or throw on a cardigan or blazer and you’re all set for fall and winter!
