Midi shirt dress with pleated skirt sewing pattern for women — Dress 101

Dress 101 is a digital sewing pattern for women from the Moldey catalog: midi shirt dress with pleated skirt.
Dress with a shirt collar, buttons visible down the whole front, 3/4 sleeves, and a full pleated skirt that starts below the bust. It has large side pockets at hip height and the length reaches mid-calf.
The drape with body and the matte finish of the fabric point to a cotton woven such as poplin or batiste, which holds the volume of the pleats well without needing a lining. It is best to cut the skirt with the fabric folded so the pleats are symmetrical on both sides.
Recommended fabrics: Poplin, Batiste and Gabardine.
