Tilda is an understated shirtdress that's practical and trendy to a tee, with a button closure and plain, set-in short sleeves. The fairy dust to Tilda’s straight cut and relaxed waist is the collar. Embrace your imagination; add a layer of ruffled fabric or lace trim between the collars or go for a simpler look and omit the collar altogether.

Fabric advice

Tilda lends itself well to a variety of woven fabrics. For example, poplin, Tencel, linen, crepe, wool and wool blends, flannel, leather(ette), a nifty woven jacquard, etc. all work. This pattern is flexible and looks great in both solids and prints.
