Not a big time commitment or terribly complicated. No lining so it can be layered easily and can go into the washing machine as needed. And maybe a couple of different collar options to keep things interesting: a band collar and a sweet (but not too sweet) ruffle. A flattering fit: not too boxy but not too fitted. And just the right length so it looks great over a dress, skirt, trousers, or jeans.<\/p>\n<p>OK, now how about a nice, simple dress to go with it? Not a boring dress. Let&#8217;s keep it interesting with some diagonal darts at the center front, a gently pleated not-too-full skirt, and a scooped neckline that will show off a beautiful necklace. This dress can be fitted beautifully thanks to a side zipper. (You&#8217;ll be surprised. That zipper isn&#8217;t as difficult to sew as you might have imagined!) It&#8217;s a great summer dress and could also be made in dressy fabrics for special occasions.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve given you all these things in our new <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sewlisette.com\/mm5\/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=SL&amp;Screen=PROD&amp;Category_Code=AP&amp;Product_Code=OLV-U02209\" target=\"_self\">Passport Dress and Jacket<\/a> sewing pattern.
