Skill Level: Easy
Fabric Suggestions: Depending on which look you want there are many suitable fabric choices:
For a workwear vibe we suggest heavyweight fabric, such as canvas, twill, panama, denim or corduroy.
For a dress-like version choose a light to midweight fabric such as linen, denim, cotton twill, wool, lightweight canvas. Perhaps skip the hidden button front and choose visible buttons and no lower pockets.
Or if you’re looking for an even softer variant, more like a cardigan or kaftan, choose a lightweight fabric, visible buttons, and no pockets.
