Suggested fabrics: Lightweight woven fabrics with a relaxed drape. Opt for breezy cotton lawn, batiste, poplin, or lightweight linen and linen blends. For added texture, try cotton seersucker or double gauze. Since Daphne is unlined, choose an opaque fabric — especially for the dress views! For a vintage-inspired touch, experiment with lace or eyelet trim, or sew up a whole top in eyelet for a romantic feel.

Cute summer pattern

I tested this pattern and I absolutely loved it. It came together super quickly, and was a really easy project.

It’s perfect for beginner sewists and experienced sewists alike and I love all the options. I used a viscose linen and it was a great fabric pairing. It’s breezy, and comfortable and I’ve already worn it a tonne of times since making it.

I made size G and shortened it by 1.5” the fit is great and I didn’t need to make any other adjustments. This would be great to batch sew a load in time for summer
