YOUR NEXT SUMMER DRESS

Sew a dress that’s made for sunny days and balmy evenings with the Seren dress sewing pattern. This chic button-down dress features a separate waistband and a swishy, seventies-inspired A-line skirt, with a choice of two pretty bodice designs to make it your own.

Choose a neckline flounce for a romantic finish or a tie-front bodice for a playful twist. With wide shoulder straps, bust darts and a choice of knee-length or midi skirt, Seren is a lovely dress to wear for everything from picnics in the park to summer parties.

Style your handmade dress with espadrilles and a sunhat for warm-weather adventures, or add a cardigan and boots when the evenings turn cooler.

  • Button-down dress design

  • Separate waistband

  • Seventies-inspired A-line skirt
