Friday Pattern Company Wilder Gown

Buy the Wilder Gown sewing pattern from Friday Pattern Company. The Wilder Gown is a raglan sleeve dress/top that is pulled in and tied at the neckline. It can be made as a long two-tier dress, a short single-tier dress, or a top! The pattern also includes options to make it short or long sleeved. The Wilder is as comfortable as it is cute and its modular design lends itself well to customisation. You'll want to make this pattern again and again.

Suggested fabrics: You will get a different look depending on the type of fabric you select. A drapey rayon or silk will give it a more elegant dressy look, while a more sturdy fabric like a linen will give you a structured everyday dress. We encourage you to be creative and daring with fabric! It would look amazing in a cotton voile, rayon challis, or chiffon.
