If you look at patterns from the 50's when everyone wore shirt dresses, the waists were tiny. Have we changed that much? I love the idea of a shirt dress but I remember the full skirt ones from those years. They were very pretty and very feminine. Though I would probably never feel like wearing one in my current life.

I love them, but could never find one that fit my silhouette quite right. I figured that I'd have to make it myself, but I wasn't looking forward to the prospect. I don't like my sewing machine and I hate cutting out fabric... I'm a knitter at heart. However, a couple of weeks ago, I found a shirt dress made of a knitted silk that fit great. Because it is knitted, it stretches in just the right places and has great drape. Also, I love the print- it's black with white airplanes. I envision myself wearing it while traveling.
