For easy everyday dressing, for low-key
off duty chic, for those days when you have
to look pulled together but you need to be
comfy, choose this fabulous throw-on-&-go dress.
This style is perfect for fluid and drape-y woven
or knit fabrics like a stable double or single jersey,
heavy crepe, lightweight ponte, washed linen, crinkled
cotton gauze, sueded charmeuse or heavy rayon challis.
Semi-fitted, unlined, pull-on dress has a slightly slouchy
but controlled balloon silhouette, with side seam-underarm
panels for a trim bodice and superior fit. Dress features
Dior darts, a jewel neckline and below-elbow-length cut-on
sleeves with a slit; in-seam pockets & raglan shoulder pads
are optional. Dress finishes at mid calf with a narrow hem.
This effortlessly modern dress is one that looks gorgeous
with a flat or low heel, but it also works beautifully with a
chunky wedge of you prefer more height. Depending on
your fabric choices, this is a true year-round style, and it’s
super-simple to dress it up or down, you know how to do it!
Add some fab footwear, a soft oversized bag, your shades,
a billowy scarf & some low-key bijoux...then you’re easily
and beautifully dressed for your day & out of that door...

Modern classic
Interesting side panel that runs from hem up under the arm to sleeve hem.
I love the hidden pockets.
I made it up in a heavyish fabric to my regular length. Will make this again in different fabrics. -
Great dress
I finally found a pattern that is relaxed, yet sill lean enough to be flattering on my frame. I particularly found the Dior dart flattering.
I've made this in a floaty silk and am planning to make others.
The instructions were easy to follow. -
Fun, fab and fast
Great dress that works for a wide range of place to wear.
Easy to sew and fit even for someone who is short under five foot like myself.
