Today’s post is a Simple Sew Shannon Dress review. This is a dress that got so much wear once I sewed it up and it traveled with me (pre lockdown) as it is an easy-to-wear dress. What’s great about Simple Sew’s Shannon Collection is that it comes with 2 patterns. It includes your staple T-shirt dress and top pattern plus stylish sailor trousers and preppy nautical shorts. The pull-on jersey dress and top features grown-on sleeves with sleeve and neckline bindings, and a top-stitched hem. The wide-leg trousers have slash pockets, a side zipper, and sewn-on buttons, plus the shorts have rolled-up hems.
