Drift Shirt Dress Cover Up: free summer sewing pattern

Start your summer right with the Drift Shirt Dress Cover Up. Made with a breezy floral printed rayon challis, this easygoing piece is designed for warm weather days when you want to throw something on and still look put together. Designed in the style of an elongated shirt dress, it has a relaxed silhouette, a classic collar, short sleeves, and a full button front that makes it endlessly wearable and easy to customize. Wear it open over your favorite swimsuit at the beach or pool, buttoned up as a casual daytime dress, or shortened into a breezy shirt with cutoff shorts.

A button-front cover-up earns its place in a summer suitcase: light, packable, and just as happy thrown over a swimsuit as it is buttoned up for the day.
