Meet the Gisella Shirt & Dress Sewing Pattern: Classic Style, Endless Possibilities.

Chic, versatile, and full of charming details — the Gisella Shirt and Shirt Dress pattern is your wardrobe’s new best friend. With options that take you from casual cropped tops to flowing maxi dresses, Gisella is designed to adapt to your mood, your fabric, and your favorite styling tricks. Whether you're going for timeless tailoring or playful volume, this pattern makes it easy to create a polished look with comfort and personality.

Here’s what makes the Giselle Shirt & Dress a must-make:

Multiple Length Options: Choose from cropped or regular shirt lengths, two stylish peplum top lengths (high hip and hip), or take it into dress territory with above-knee and maxi dress versions — all featuring a functional button placket.

Collar Versatility: Sew it with a classic collar stand or keep it simple and sleek with the stand-only option.

Sleeves for Every Style: Play with proportion and seasonality by mixing and matching short puff sleeves, oversized elbow-length puff sleeves, or regular short, elbow, and long sleeves.

Tailored Back Details: A back yoke adds classic shirt structure and comfort — perfect for achieving that ideal fit across the shoulders.

Finishing Touches: Tie it all together with the optional sash for added shape and style.

Fabric-Friendly: Designed especially for light to medium-weight woven fabrics with soft drape — rayon, viscose, crepe, or a breezy cotton blend all work beautifully.

Flexible Files for Every Setup: Pattern includes layered formats for Letter, A4, A0, and projector — so you can print and prep however you prefer.

Guided Every Step of the Way: With full photo instructions and a step-by-step video sew-along hosted by Lindsey, you’ll feel supported from first cut to final button.

Sizes:
This pattern is designed for our Curvy Fit Size Chart, drafted for a height of 5'5"/165.10 cm. We've also included simple instructions to help you adjust the pattern for different heights, ensuring a perfect fit.

ATTENTION: THIS SIZE CHART IS DIFFERENT THEN OUR OTHER SIZE CHARTS. SOME SIZES ARE SPLIT UP IN ORDER TO GET A MORE TRUE TO SIZE FIT FOR EACH SIZE. 

For Example: the previous size XXS is divided in a separate size XXS-A and size XXS-B. You look at your measurements and compare them to the chart to see which size to sew for above bust, bust, waist and hip. You can grade between all sizes. 



Fabric Choice is Key:
The pattern is drafted for lightweight woven fabrics with good drape. For example: linen, cotton poplin, viscose, stretch wovens, silk polyester blends, satin, chambray, and viscose linen blends etc. You also need 3-5 buttons or snaps.
