Sleeveless Button-Front Mini Dress

The Sleeveless Button-Front Mini Dress is a short, easy summer dress for women, cut without sleeves and opening all the way down the front with a full row of buttons. The button placket gives the dress a relaxed, everyday character and makes it simple to put on and take off, while the mini length keeps the overall look light and fresh for warm weather.

Lightweight woven fabrics suit this style best. Cotton poplin, chambray, linen and linen blends, cotton lawn or a soft light denim all hold the button front neatly and stay comfortable in the heat. Wear it on its own on hot days, as a cover-up at the beach, or layered over a tee with a cardigan when the temperature drops in early autumn.

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.
