The shirt variation also includes breast pockets, a back pleat, long sleeves with cuffs, and an uneven hem with side slits.

Fabric Suggestions:
For both variations, choose a non-stretch, light-weight or medium-weight shirt fabric. The blouse fabric can be slightly lighter, while the dress can be made of a heavier but more drapey material.
