From FibreMood:

Of course there’s room for another shirt dress in your cupboard, especially if Calamity Jane provided the inspiration! Ivory has a slightly flared skirt and gathered sleeves right over the roomy buttoned wrist cuff. The design is nothing if spirited, with lovely accents that are a clear nod to the Wild West. There's a collar with large points, characteristic details decorating the shoulder pieces and back, and a sturdy belt.

And by the way... Ivory can adapt faster than you can draw, so you can make it as long or short as you want. For a super sexy dress, have it end a daring length above the knee. And if you end it at the top, you'll have yourself a fantastic Western shirt. Wanna bet that you'll turn heads when you step into the saloon (wine bar)?

Fabric advice

To create the ‘it’ look, go for denim, suede or soft leather. Fabric with a fluid drape, whether it’s shiny or not, such as viscose, crepe, rayon, satin or (faux) silk work too, but the overall look will be totally different.
