✨ Lilac Linen Midi Dress – PDF Sewing Pattern
 
Sizes S–3XL • Relaxed fit • Gathered midi skirt • Button tabs • Slanted pockets • Turned-up cuff sleeves • Pull-on, no zip • Instant download
 
The easy linen midi you'll live in from spring to autumn: a softly shaped bodice with a clean round neckline, short sleeves with a neat turned-up cuff, and a gathered skirt with real pockets. Two button tabs sit on the waist seam right where the gathers begin, the little detail that makes it look store-bought.

💜 Why You'll Love It
 
✔️ Pull-on, no zip: a small button keyhole at the back neck and a waist seam drafted to pass over the bust
✔️ Gathers only where they flatter: between the tabs in front and across the back, flat over the hips
✔️ Real slanted pockets, stabilised with stay tape so they lie flat instead of gaping
✔️ Short set-in sleeves with a turned-up cuff, set in flat for an easy, pucker-free finish
✔️ Neckline and keyhole finished with one facing, topstitched like the photos
✔️ A measurement checkpoint after every key step, so mistakes are caught before they're sewn over
