Linen Maxi Dress with Flared Sleeves Boho Cottagecore

This maxi dress pattern brings together a relaxed boho silhouette and soft cottagecore charm in one easy-wearing design for women. The empire waist sits high and close, releasing into a gathered skirt that falls to maxi length, while the romantic flared sleeves add movement and a gentle vintage feeling to the upper body.

Linen is the natural choice here, from lightweight handkerchief weights to mid-weight dress linen, and linen blends work equally well. Cotton lawn, double gauze, chambray and rayon challis also suit the gathered skirt and softly draping sleeves. The result is a dress for warm afternoons, garden gatherings, markets and travel, and it layers comfortably over a long-sleeved 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 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.
