This is my favourite classic 70’s dress pattern modified slightly. When I was a child this style of dress was very popular with teachers probably because it is so comfortable. It was often constructed in denim or chorduroy and worn in Wintertime with a skivvy underneath. I prefer it in cotton as an Autumn dress.

Very pretty dress. I like your fabric. I wonder why teachers like this design in particular but it does look so teacherlike.
