Gingham Linen Square Neck Midi Dress

The Gingham Linen Square Neck Midi Dress is a summer dress pattern for women who like a clean, classic silhouette. The square neckline frames the shoulders and collarbone, while the wide shoulder straps keep the look balanced and easy to wear. Falling to midi length, it reads as both relaxed and put together, making it a dress that works for sewists at many levels of experience.

Lightweight and mid-weight linen suits this design especially well, and linen blends, cotton chambray or soft cotton shirting in a gingham check will give a similar drape and summery feel. Wear it for warm-weather days, garden gatherings, holidays and weekend errands, and layer it over a fitted tee or under a cardigan when the temperature drops.

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.
