Buy the Kitty Dress sewing pattern from Sew Over It. Kitty is a feminine, vintage-inspired button-front shirt dress with a huge number of options.

Versions 2 and 4 feature a darted bodice with set-in sleeves and the choice of a beautiful shawl collar or notched collar. The darted bodice is finished neatly at the front with facings.

Versions 1 and 3 are fitted with princess seams and feature a sleeveless bodice with scooped shoulders. Choose between the shawl collar or notched collar, and between finishing the bodice with facings or a lining.

You can pair all the bodices with a panelled skirt (Skirt 1) or gathered skirt (Skirt 2), with both skirt options featuring in-seam pockets. All versions are cinched in at the waist with a narrow waistband. And you can also make the skirt on its own!
