Meet the Martha Dress

Meet Martha, our new PDF pattern soon to be your favourite summer dress.

Inspired by one of our favourite 1950s silhouettes (waisted with a flared skirt), the Martha Dress looks gorgeous with heels and pumps alike or paired with espadrille wedges for the perfect holiday look.

With darts for shaping and beautiful pleat details, the wrap over bodice leads into a sash.


Use the ties to cinch in the waist with a bow to up the vintage style or loosen them for a more relaxed look and to allow for an enjoyable picnic!

The skirt is cut on the bias for ultimate swishing without too much fullness and you can pick between two lengths: just below the knee or midi for a more modern silhouette.

Designed for medium weight woven fabrics, the possibilities are endless depending on what you use: a linen in a solid colour to be dressed up or down, a cotton lawn in a playful print for summer parties, or a bold brocade for a real showstopper.

Martha is finished with a centre back concealed zip and the in-seam pockets make her as functional as she is gorgeous!

Buy the pattern and make yourself a gorgeous summer dress!
