About MeThis dress pattern was designed for Woman's Weekly magazine readers by fashion designer Bill Gibb who was born in New Pitsligo, Scotland. The pattern can be used to make a shirtdress or to make a two-piece shirt and skirt. The padded shoulders, full length sleeves and deep wristbands give the dress a striking silhouette.
