The Kelly shirt dress is designed for woven fabrics, with a fitted darted bodice and lightly gathered skirt. 
It features inset diagonal style lines on the front and back which you can sew plain, or add the optional ruffle into the seam for a playful extra. 
The darted bodice also includes three different bust fit styles so you can spend less time fitting and more time enjoying sewing! 
The tailored elements such as the stand collar and seamed-on button band are balanced with more simple gathered puff sleeves and a gathered skirt. Choose from short puff sleeves or three-quarter length, and two length options for the skirt. 
This is a great skill-building pattern, with lots of core sewing techniques to practice and perfect with our thorough instructions. We hope you love all the details!

Note from Jo, designer: You may be wondering why we don't have a beautiful photoshoot to accompany this pattern. I am currently suffering from severe Long Covid and have had to suspend many activities, including sewing.

So fun
Format: Audiobook
The audio version was well-narrated. Enjoyed it from start to finish. The story is well-developed, and the characters are multidimensional. I always enjoy anything by Kris Bryant.

Great read
Format: Kindle
Another great one word title from Kris Bryant. The characters were heartfelt and sincere. This was an easy read, yet full of emotion and had me rooting for both characters.

Cool twin swap story
Format: Paperback
The start of the book is fun with the twin swap between the famous actress Zoey and Amelia running an animal sanctuary. Amelia heads to Vegas pretending to be Zoey at a conference Zoey can audition for a new role. While Amelia is in Vegas, she meets the production assistant Lindsey and chemistry there, but she must back off and pretend to be Zoey. Zoey finally joins Amelia in Vegas, and they can switch back, but the switch is exposed and both Zoey and Lindsey lose their job. Fortunately, Zoey proposes that she and Lindsey visit the farm and help Amelia out, she is struggling with the finances. Obvious for everyone that Amelia and Lindsey are perfect for each other and Lindsey is the perfect fit to help with the farm promotion. The question is whether this is a temporary hook-up or can they find a way to make it work more long term. I really liked the twin swap in the beginning and would have loved that to drag out a lot longer to see how Amelia and Lindsey struggle to stay off each other. The farm part is cute but not as interesting apart for the bad guy part trying to destroy the idyllic life there. A nice read I can recommend if you want an angst free sweet read.

Parent trap vibes
Format: Kindle
3 .75⭐️ round up to 4, and 3.5🌶 Ok, so the premise of this book drew me in. Who doesn't love a little twin swapping a la the parent trap? Add in a side of celebrity vs small town cowgirl and you've got the basic concepts here. The twins Zoey and Amelia couldn't be more opposites. That alone should have been easily discernible. The fact none of Zoey's costars figured it out is crazy, but that just added to the hijinks of the swap. Lindsay, the poor PA who has to corral the TV stars at the tv con, really didn't understand her sudden attraction to the slightly different Zoey. The slow burn between Amelia and Lindsay will draw you in. The fallout from the twin swap let's you see what could have happened if Amelia and Lindsay didn't meet under the false pretense. The escape back to the farm and plot to save the animal rescue let's the slow moving story unfold. One of the small detractions for me was the inability to communicate feelings between the FMCs. they do end up speaking their truth/ feelings but it seemed to drag out a bit too long. All in all, I enjoyed this story, it easy could be another hallmark holiday movie. If you're looking for that cute animal loving back story this has it in spades. I mean I would help the Mizzou Moos in a New York second.
