Olive Dress & Blouse Women

The Olive Dress is for the creative soul who finds joy in the process of making mindful clothing. With its generously wide silhouette, this dress promises both comfort and style. The gathered neckline creates soft folds, adding texture and dimension, while the voluminous sleeves bring a graceful charm. This versatile design offers options for a blouse, mini dress, or midi dress with an elegant tier, making it a timeless piece you'll reach for throughout the year. This simple yet stylish design is ideal for beginner sewers looking for a versatile project.

Designed for woven fabrics without stretch, the Olive Dress offers endless possibilities for customization. Use lightweight fabrics like linen, cotton lawn, or double gauze for a carefree, summery feel, or opt for heavier fabrics like chambray or cotton twill to create a more structured, fall-ready version. This pattern is also incredibly easy to hack into a variety of different design options—such as adding ruffles or shortening it into a cropped top with an elastic hem—allowing you to add your own creative twists. Plus, for those who love adorable "mommy and me" looks, the girls' Olive Dress pattern is available, making it a perfect project for matching outfits.

By making the Olive Dress, you’re not just sewing a garment—you’re creating something with intention, a piece that reflects your values and craftsmanship. Each time you wear it, you'll be reminded of the care and intention sewn into every stitch, making it a cherished part of your wardrobe.

The Olive Dress features a loose, oversized fit, perfect for ease of movement and comfort.

The dress offers three length options: blouse, mini dress, or midi dress with a tier, giving you flexibility to suit different styles and occasions. In-seam pockets provide practicality without disrupting the clean lines of the garment.
