Gathered Waist A-Line Linen Dress

The Gathered Waist A-Line Linen Dress is a midi-length dress with a fitted bodice that meets a softly gathered waist and falls into an easy A-line skirt. The shape defines the waistline while the skirt skims rather than clings, making it a comfortable everyday choice for women who want a simple, wearable silhouette.

Linen is the natural match, from lighter handkerchief weights for hot weather to mid-weight linen that holds the gathers with a little more body. Cotton lawn, chambray and viscose are good alternatives when softer drape is wanted. Wear it to work with flats, on holiday with sandals, or dressed up slightly for a summer celebration.

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 A4 paper, 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.
