Asymmetric Wrap Shirt Mini Dress with Overlay Panel

When To Wear

In spring and summer as a day dress for work and casual outings.
With flat sandals or ankle boots; the three-quarter sleeves also suit cooler days.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, loose shirt-dress shape, shaped at the waist only by the tie belt.

Length: Short; the overlay hem drops diagonally to a point below the main hem.

Collar: Two-piece shirt collar with pointed ends, the outer collar stitched to the neckline and the inner collar topstitched into the seam.

Front: Short cut-on placket at the neck closed with buttons. The overlay panel has its edges turned in and topstitched, is basted to the right front at the armhole and side seam and then handled as one piece.

Sleeves: Set-in, three-quarter length, finished with a flared cuff.

Back: Horizontal back yoke; the back is cut in one piece on the fold.

Waist: Two belt pieces: one is sewn to the overlay, the other is caught into the left side seam; they tie at the left side.

Finishing: Hem and seams overlocked; hem turned and topstitched.

Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. A cut-on placket with corners stitched and clipped at a mark, a two-piece shirt collar, an overlay panel joined to the front, buttonholes.
