Emporia Patterns Cassie Dress

Cassie is a loose fitting, flowing summer dress designed to keep you cool in the heat. Perfect for popping on post-beach or wearing out for a picnic, the dress is based on a t-shirt style bodice, with gathered skirt layers, in your chosen length. Go short and swishy or full length and maxi for a boho effect. Alternatively you could wear it over a long sleeved t-shirt and leggings in the colder months. The dress can also be made with tie straps for hotter weather in classic sundress style.

A very easy make, the dress features short, attached sleeves and bust darts, and no closures. This pattern is suitable for beginners and those with very little sewing experience.

Cassie comes in sizes 6 - 24.
