You may need to purchase extra fabric if your fabric has a heavy nap, is directional, striped, or has an obvious repeat.
Sizing: XS – 7X (approx. UK 6 – 34, based on our standardised size chart). Please also check the designer's size chart and finished garment measurements.

This pattern is just lovely, it's very hackable. This is my second version, this time I wanted a long version. It's so swishy and gorgeous, it was perfect for a theatre visit.

I made this #davenportdress for the #SewRecreateTheLook challenge I co hosted with Sharlene. We challenge participants to sew a look they have admired from lots of different inspirations.
I made a mood board and then had to find the fabric and pattern to make this happen. Sneak peeks
This pattern has lots of scrumptious details but I added extra ruffles for length , shirring on the biceps and beads on the drawstring waist. I loved working this way and slowing down to recreate something beautiful. See more details here
You can see it in action here along with the other looks myself and Sharlene created. @SoSewDressmaking
Thank you for reading

I think this dress has what it takes to be this year's 'it' dress in the sewing community. I love its style and have already made 2 of them!
You can read my full review on my blog where I've written up a review of my experience with this dress and the tweaks I made - Davenport dress Review

I fell in love with the Davenport dress as soon as the pattern was released and the beautiful versions I have seen popping up on Instagram bumped it straight to the top of my sewing queue! I used a William Morris inspired printed viscose from Sew Me Sunshine for my version and I think the drape of the fabric works perfectly with the pretty details and gathering. You can see lots more pictures of my dress and read my thoughts on the pattern in my latest blog post here.

Once again Friday Pattern Company has released another amazing pattern.
I've made two so far, one in medium weight linen and another in sandwashed viscose and I LOVE them.
Its a nice and easy pattern to sew and there is a great seawlong on YouTube if you het stuck on any trickier bits.
This is the perfect transitional dress for spring and summer.
