Peter Pan Collar Dress Sewing Pattern

In the words of Taylor Swift, it's time to shake it off – your winter knitwear, that is! We're waving goodbye to layers and saying hello to breezy cotton prints with this issue's Libby Dress. This timeless style features a princess-seam bodice, pleated skirt, and a sweet Peter pan collar we reckon Taylor would definitely approve of.
