Simple Spaghetti Strap Linen Maxi Summer Dress

This pattern makes a relaxed summer maxi dress for women, cut with a long, flowy straight silhouette and finished with delicate spaghetti straps. The simple lines keep the sewing straightforward, making it a comfortable choice for anyone building confidence with dressmaking as well as for sewists who want a quick, satisfying warm-weather make.

Linen is the natural match here, giving the skirt the soft drape and airy feel the design is built around. Linen blends, cotton lawn and viscose work in much the same way if a lighter hand or a little more fluidity is preferred. The result suits hot days, holidays by the coast, garden gatherings and slow weekends, and layers easily under a cardigan or open shirt when the evening cools.

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 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.
