Sauvie Sun Dress - Sewing Pattern | Sew House 7

available for orders over $100

The Sauvie Sundress is the perfect strappy summer dress to reach for when you are wanting comfort, ease and style in those hot summer months. It's also perfect for layering over a t-shirt as a pinafore when the temperatures drop. Sauvie can be anything from a swim cover-up to a casual summer dress to an elegant evening gown depending on your fabric choice. 

  • Confident beginner level pattern
  • This pattern is standard size 00-20.
  • Cover model 5' 9" and wearing size 12 with 1" added length

The low front and back V-necklines and narrow straps were designed to cover bra straps and optional bra keeper instructions are included to hide and secure your bra straps within the garment for that extra couture detail. 

With two pocket options, three hem finishes, two waist finishes and two hem lengths, you can mix and match any of the version's features. 

Fabrics: Light-weight woven fabrics such as Linen, Viscose Linen Noil, Cotton Double Gauze silk noil, silk crepe de chine, wool gabardine and just about any woven dress-weight fabric that isn't too thick or stiff. Note that stable fabrics such as cotton lawn may result in a tighter fit at the upper bust while fabrics with drape such as rayon challis may result in a looser fit.:

    I made these for my slender 14 year old in stretch green pinwale with antique copper hardware. I cut a size 6, added some length to the legs and took 2cm per side width out of the back. The pattern instructions are easy to follow though I would love it if every second size, rather than every size, was printed on one pattern sheet as this would improve ease of cutting. Maaike always sources good quality fabrics and the pinwale is easy to work with.
