The Poppy Dress is a versatile dress sewing pattern that adapts to every season and occasion. This playful yet polished design features a fitted shoulder line that flows into a relaxed, easy silhouette thanks to beautifully tiered gathers in two lengths.

Choose your perfect fit: The midi length offers contemporary elegance perfect for work or dinner out, while the shorter version creates a fun, movement-friendly dress ideal for weekend adventures or casual gatherings.

Make it uniquely yours with two sleeve options - choose short sleeves for warm weather ease or long sleeves gently gathered into cuffs for cooler days and a more polished look. The classic band collar and button placket give you that crisp, put-together style that works from season to season.

This dress pattern transforms with your fabric choices. Sew it up in cozy flannel for comfortable winter days, choose breezy cotton lawn for picnic-perfect summer wear, or select a special glittery lamé when you want to make a statement at your next celebration. The relaxed fit through the body makes it comfortable in any fabric weight.

Perfect your technique with this intermediate sewing pattern that teaches essential skills including setting sleeves with precision and ease, creating clean button plackets, mastering continuous plackets, attaching tailored cuffs, constructing a band collar, and achieving even gathers. Each step builds your confidence while creating a dress you'll reach for again and again.

Techniques you'll master: sewing straight seams, setting sleeves, creating a button placket, continuous plackets, attaching cuffs, adding a band collar, gathering, inserting buttons & buttonholes, and basic hemming.

Difficulty Level: Intermediate

An ideal project for sewers ready to tackle collars and plackets while creating a wardrobe staple that transitions effortlessly from casual to dressed-up.
