Retro Day Dress with Matching Detachable Peter Pan Collar

This pattern pairs a classic feminine day dress with a detachable vintage Peter Pan collar, giving two looks from a single project. The dress has a timeless retro silhouette that suits everyday wear, while the collar slips on and off so the neckline can be dressed up or kept simple. Because the collar is interchangeable, it can also be worn with other garments already in the wardrobe, making the ensemble genuinely versatile for women who enjoy vintage-inspired style.

Cotton poplin, chambray, lightweight linen, crepe or a soft rayon all work well, with crisp cotton giving the collar the structure it needs to hold its shape. The dress is well suited to weekend outings, office days, afternoon tea, family gatherings and warm-weather travel, and a contrast collar in a different colour or print is an easy way to refresh the look between seasons.

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, with a combined US Letter / A4 file as well, 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.
