Black Coton Rib Lng Short Sleeved Dress

 

When I travel by plane, a long, jersey dress is the better solution, and a very versatile piece for taking on my small carry-on suitcase. I already have a long-sleeved and a sleeveless one, but for this specific trip, I needed a short-sleeved one. 
I found this organic cotton rib is Ray Stitch, and it has proved perfect for this project. 

I used an old pattern, my Coco Copicat, hacked from  the Universal T-shirt pattern. I only elongated the bodice and created a couple of knee-deep side cuts to walk comfortably. 

It has ended up awesome, very useful, and perfect to wear with the small denim waistcoat I bought in Kensington Market, in Toronto.
