Behind the scenes: sewing pattern design
I designed The Daisy Dress because I wanted the perfect summer dress pattern that felt easy to wear. To keep the insides looking clean and professional, the bodice is fully lined and you have the option to line the skirt. These details really elevate a simple summer dress and make your handmade clothes look and feel high end. Details like the gentle puff sleeves create a timeless look and are soft enough to wear underneath a jacket. If you’re been looking how to sew a easy summer dress, this pattern was made for you!
Fabric inspiration for this summer dress pattern
Choosing fabric for your Daisy Dress can make a big difference to how the dress sits. I prefer to use fabrics like cotton, linen or viscose for a breezy summer dress. Fabrics like cotton or linen will hold the gathers and create more structured look, whereas viscose fabrics will look more floaty and create a softer look. My absolute favourite fabric to use is a Viscose Linen blend for a soft and gentle summer dress.

With beginner-friendly construction and inclusive sizing, this pattern helps make sewing your own clothes feel fun and achievable.
