Cottagecore Milkmaid Sundress with Narrow Straps

This cottagecore milkmaid sundress is a romantic warm-weather dress for women who enjoy a soft, vintage-inspired silhouette. The gathered bodice shapes the upper body gently, while narrow straps keep the neckline light and open across the shoulders. Below the waist, a flared skirt adds easy movement and a flattering line that suits a wide range of figures.

Lightweight, drapey wovens show the gathering at its best, so consider cotton lawn, voile, chambray, linen blends or a soft rayon challis. Floral prints and plain pastels both suit the gentle country mood of the style. Wear it to summer picnics, garden parties, markets and holidays, and layer it over a fitted tee or under a cardigan when the weather turns cooler.

Sizes run from XS to 5XL (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on US Letter or A4 paper (one file for both), and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
