Dhurata Davies Patterns Martha Dress

Buy the Martha Dress sewing pattern from Dhurata Davies Patterns. Martha is a timeless dress combining effortless style and comfort. With its relaxed fit, 3/4 length sleeves, and round neckline, it’s an essential wardrobe choice. Optional patch pockets add further functionality.

View A features wide sleeves with a deep inverted pleat at the shoulder seam, a horizontal tuck detail on the bodice, deep inverted pleats on the centre front and back of the skirt, and a deep hem. View B has tapered sleeves, three shallower inverted pleats on the skirt, and a regular hem. You also have the option to omit the sleeves on either view.

Martha is perfectly adaptable to any season depending on fabric choice - opt for lighter fabric on warmer days to enjoy the flowy silhouette, or heavier fabric and layers in colder weather. With no zips, buttons or darts, Martha is a stress-free sewing project, suitable for all skill levels.
