Have you found a shift pattern you like?

I hope you have had a chance to check out all the shift dress options and a few ideas from the  September 8, 2017 post.  If not check them out and see if any inspire you to make a shift dress.

Here's one from  Christine Haynes called the Varda Dress.  I am impressed with all the detail and work that went into making such a classic pattern!  Notice how nicely the dresses and tops fit the models.  The pattern is a PDF file but worth the challenge.  These dresses are not a time-consuming sewing project  which makes it nice if you want to make something soon and have it finished and ready to wear.









These tops would work well with most any kind of skirt.  Check out the suggested fabrics on the image below. I hope to be making something from this pattern soon!  It is a great pattern for a minimalist's wardrobe.

HELLO HERMANA: SALUDOS DESDE BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA. ME GUSTAN MUCHO LOS VESTIDOS, PERO YO SIEMPRE USO FALDAS, QUE ES LO QUE A DIOS LE AGRADA, LA BIBLIA DICE: QUE LA MUJER NO VESTIRA ROPA DE HOMBRE, Y LAMENTABLEMENTE EN ESTAS EPOCAS, YA NO SABEMOS QUIEN SE VISTE COMO QUIEN, ROPA DE HOMBRE PARA MUJER Y ROPA DE MUJER PARA HOMBRE, MUY DESAGRADABLE. BENDICIONES.

I am putting in a translation for Ana Cuneo:

HELLO SISTER: GREETINGS FROM BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA. I LIKE THE DRESSES A LOT, BUT I ALWAYS USE SKIRTS, WHICH IS WHAT GOD likes , THE BIBLE SAYS: THAT WOMEN DO NOT WEAR MEN'S CLOTHES, AND REGARDLESS IN THESE TIMES, WE DO NOT KNOW WHO SEEMS LIKE WHO, CLOTHES OF MAN FOR WOMEN AND CLOTHES OF WOMEN FOR MEN, VERY NASTY. BLESSINGS.

I hope that is translated correctly. I used the computer to help translate.

Thank you very much for your comments. I agree that God made man and woman and each is to be distinctly and definitively different. The way we dress should reflect our gratefulness to God for the role that he has given us and to ultimately bring Him glory. May the Holy Spirit give each of us discernment as we live to and for the Lord and His glory.
