Non-stretch sewing patterns

My sewing so far has been quilting or stretch fabric. I have made quite a few pieces of clothes but never put in a button hole or a zip!

I get a lot of patterns online (Ellie and Mac, deer and doe, patterns for pirates etc…) but want to expand my repertoire. I actually like the print at home as the paper is thicker and you just print he size(s) you want, and easy to mix and match sleeves and lengths etc…

I would love to sew a dress I could wear to work (I have the Ellie and Mac Elevated blazer pattern that I could do to match - though this is still needs a stretch).

Where can I find a pattern for a work dress that is suitable for confident beginner/ intermediate but no zip or button experience!!!

I know you specifically asked for non-stretch but thought I’d post this anyway - I couldn’t believe how easy it was to cut and sew, it’s lovely and perfect for work : https://so-sew-easy.com/easy-dress-pattern/
