Emporia Patterns Zoe Dress

Buy the Zoe Dress sewing pattern from Emporia Patterns. Zoe is a semi fitted shirt dress with raglan sleeves. It features a two piece collar with a stand, front button placket, pleats at the waist, cutaway pockets, and side splits at the hem. The pleats create a subtle corseting effect at the waist, while the three quarter length sleeves and slight A-line shaping make for a very elegant silhouette. Make it from crisp cotton or cotton sateen for a more formal look, or go casual with linen or a bold print.
