Linen Button-Down Mini Dress with Pockets

This linen button-down mini dress is a relaxed warm-weather pattern for women who want an easy, everyday make. A full front button closure runs from neckline to hem, giving the dress a classic shirt-style look and making it simple to put on, while side pockets add practical storage for keys, a phone or sunglasses. The mini length keeps the silhouette light and summery.

Linen is the natural choice here, with its breathable drape and softly crumpled texture, though cotton chambray, linen blends and lightweight cotton shirting all work well. Wear it on hot days in town, over swimwear on holiday, or layered with a knit and boots 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 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.
