Design

The Evie Dress is the perfect summer dress to sew yourself. With its adjustable straps that you can wear two ways, cute ruffle detail, and straight cut, it’s uncomplicated, loose, and airy – just what you want to wear on hot summer days! Also: It has pockets! The side pockets make the dress an absolute favorite in the closet. The sewing pattern included sizes XS-XXXL.

You want the perfect fit?

There is nothing more frustrating than when a homemade garment ends up fitting poorly. That’s over now! Because when you take the time to sew a garment yourself, you deserve it to be perfect. That’s why our patterns are now also available in the variant “Customized to your measurements”. How does it work? Choose the option “Customized to your measurements”, measure yourself according to our instructions and enter your current measurements in our form. Our designers then construct your individual pattern. You will receive it within 1 to maximum 2 weeks after filling out the form as paper pattern or digital pattern by email and can start sewing without fear that your garment will not fit in the end as expected.
