I love to design classic, yet modern styles that have the perfect amount of feminine touch. I think that the Sullivan Dress combines all of those elements, but of course I have to say my favorite part is the scalloped bodice that hangs freely over the skirt.


I wanted the back of this dress to be just as pretty as the front, and I think the keyhole closure helped that happen!

The pattern has 8 different views, combining several different options.

Scalloped (or straight!) bodice hem…


Short sleeves or sleeveless…


And knee or maxi length (with a chiffon/lace overlay option for either length).


Depending on fabric choices it can be a casual dress or formal, and the pattern includes sizes 12-18m through size 12 years. As you know I’m a sucker for practicality and the more uses out of a pattern you can get, the better, right?!


The Art Gallery floral (Forest Floor by Bonnie Christine) and the Robert Kauffman peach I made the maxi dress with were fabrics that I found at a local fabric shop here near Seattle, Circa 15. I am totally obsessed with the floral, it’s just so beautiful!

The Art Gallery butterfly fabric (from the Winged line) and Riley Blake metallic mint fabric that I made Lola’s dress with is one of my favorite combos lately (I made Lola a Magrath Dress out of it a few months ago).

Absolutely beautiful! I am wondering how/where the skirt is attached to the top. Thank you. -della
Thank you Della! The skirt is attached to the bodice lining :).
Thank you Della! The skirt is attached to the bodice lining :).
I am in love with this dress! I have been looking for another dress pattern for a long time and haven’t found one I loved yet. What fabrics will this pattern work best with?
Thank you Lynette! Any light-midweight woven fabric works great, depending on how much drape you want! I’m making one presently with a heavier home decor weight fabric to give the skirt a stiffer look too!
I love this dress! It may just jump to the top of my way-too-long sewing list!
This is so cute!!
I love this pattern! Could you make this in a women’s size pattern? I would seriously love you for that!
Thanks Megan! I know I would personally love one, so maybe I can make that happen!
OMG YES! PLEASE DO :)
Can you please send me the link for the video on how to make the arm holes. I am having trouble getting it to pull up on the PDF. Thanks!
