The Davenport Dress

The Davenport Dress is the perfect throw-on and go dress. Whether you're shopping at your local farmers market or hanging out around the house, this ruffley dress will have you feeling cute and comfortable.

It features full sleeves with an elastic ruffle hem as well as a shoulder flutter detail. The hem hits above the knees. The front neckline is gathered in with elastic, and the waist features a drawstring so this dress can be pulled on and off without any closures. Most importantly, the Davenport features roomy pockets that are perfect for stowing away all of your treasures. This pattern is suitable for all skill levels and we will take you step-by-step through the sewing process.

The Davenport is designed for woven fabrics. It is suitable for light to mid weight fabrics. Fabrics like cotton lawn or linen will make this a great dress for spring and summer! If you want it to be a bit fancier it can be sewn from a silk or something with a bit of drape.

• Access to a wider range of amazing patterns, even FREE patterns from your favorite designers 
• Pattern is printed on sturdier paper rather than tissue paper that can get easily ruined and disintegrate. 
• Having the file on your computer or in the cloud (forever?) in case you want to or need to print it again. 
• Supporting small, independent pattern designers who may not have the capital to invest in paper pattern printing
