A modern shirt dress or big shirt with loads of details and drama. Angled princess seams create a sharp look and conceal perfect pockets. A stand collar and button placket retains a bit of the classic button-up shirt or shirtdress look. Fullness through the sides show off the sweep of your silhouette. Style lines celebrate the unexpected.
Create View A - a short-sleeved big shirt to style with leggings or straight-leg pants. The shirt is hemmed to hit mid-thigh.
Or challenge yourself with View B - a designer-quality dress, complete with long sleeves, plackets and cuffs. The dress is hemmed to just above the knee.
Both versions offer creative options for color-blocking and pattern play, with side panels and back shoulder panels.

About Style Falcon
Style Falcon sewing patterns are thoughtfully designed for women of menopause age and beyond, enabling them to create a handmade wardrobe that fits their bodies and their lives, without the hassle of adapting patterns designed for much younger bodies.
Unlike most sewing patterns, Style Falcon patterns are drafted for a mature figure - not a youthful hourglass figure. That means:
- Little bust-to-waist definition
- Lower bust points, for a “C” to “D” cup
- More room at the tummy, hip and sleeve bicep
- Center-back seams, with rounded back and forward shoulder shaping
- For people about 5’4” (about 163 cm)
