Mother and Daughter Matching Square Neck Linen Dress Set

This pattern set brings together two coordinating dresses, one sized for women and one for children, so a mother and daughter can sew and wear the same look. Both versions share the same design details: a clean square neckline, a raised empire waistline that falls into a softly gathered skirt, and practical side pockets.

Linen is the natural choice here, from lightweight handkerchief weights to mid-weight linen blends, and cotton lawn, chambray or washed cotton also work nicely. The relaxed shape suits warm weather, so think summer holidays, garden parties, family photographs and easy weekend wear, with a cardigan or light jacket layered over the top when the evenings cool down.

Sizes run from 2Y to 5XL (2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y, 7Y, 8Y, 10Y, 12Y, 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.
