The Kelly shirt dress is designed for woven fabrics, with a fitted darted bodice and lightly gathered skirt. 
It features inset diagonal style lines on the front and back which you can sew plain, or add the optional ruffle into the seam for a playful extra. 
The darted bodice also includes three different bust fit styles so you can spend less time fitting and more time enjoying sewing! 
The tailored elements such as the stand collar and seamed-on button band are balanced with more simple gathered puff sleeves and a gathered skirt. Choose from short puff sleeves or three-quarter length, and two length options for the skirt. 
This is a great skill-building pattern, with lots of core sewing techniques to practice and perfect with our thorough instructions. We hope you love all the details!

Note from Jo, designer: You may be wondering why we don't have a beautiful photoshoot to accompany this pattern. I am currently suffering from severe Long Covid and have had to suspend many activities, including sewing.
In the meantime, thank you for your patience and support in this extremely trying time. 🤍

good book
Format: Kindle
A lot of fun and ridiculous twists and turns. But, unfortunately, this author still needs to hire a professional proofreader.

Great read ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Format: Paperback
The Divorce by Frieda McFadden was everything I’ve come to expect from Frieda — addictive, suspenseful, fast-paced, and filled with shocking twists that completely caught me off guard. In true Frieda fashion, just when I thought I had the story figured out, she turned everything upside down. She has such a talent for making ordinary situations feel unsettling and keeping the reader questioning every character’s motives until the very end. What I loved most was how quickly this story pulled me in. The tension builds chapter by chapter, and the short, fast-moving chapters make it almost impossible to stop reading. Every reveal added another layer to the story, and I constantly changed my mind about who could be trusted. Frieda always knows how to create characters that are flawed, complicated, and just suspicious enough to keep you hooked. The emotional side of the story mixed perfectly with the thriller aspect. The themes of betrayal, secrets, marriage, and manipulation made the story feel intense and realistic while still delivering the dramatic twists her readers love. The ending was absolutely wild and left me sitting there replaying everything in my head afterward. Another fabulous read from Frieda McFadden. She truly has become one of my automatic-read authors because she never fails to entertain me. If you love psychological thrillers with nonstop tension, unreliable characters, and jaw-dropping endings, this one is definitely worth the read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

queen of Plot Twists.
Format: Kindle
Ngl, I didn’t like the way this one ended. I wonder if they’ll be a continuation or something like that. I need answers. This is the first book that I felt like I didn’t get closure from. lol. But it was a good book. And the plot twist came outta nowhere. I was reading and reading and reading and I’m like what the heck and then I was like OH DAMN! Then it just kept hitting lol. PART 2 FREIDA!!! I have questions still.

Freida does is again! Outstanding Read!
Format: Kindle
I went into The Divorce expecting twists, suspense, and plenty of jaw-dropping moments—because that's what Freida McFadden always delivers. Somehow, she still managed to exceed my expectations. From the very first chapter, I was completely hooked. Every time I thought I had figured things out, the story took another turn and proved me wrong. The pacing was relentless, the tension kept building, and I found myself saying "just one more chapter" far too many times. What I loved most was how cleverly everything came together. The twists felt shocking without being forced, and the ending left me stunned in the best possible way. Looking back, all the clues were there, but I never saw the full picture until it was revealed. This is easily my favorite Freida McFadden book so far. It's addictive, suspenseful, and impossible to put down. If you enjoy psychological thrillers that keep you guessing until the very end, this one is a must-read. Freida has done it again—and somehow raised the bar even higher. Highly recommend!
