Buy the Penny Dress sewing pattern from Make With Mandi. The Penny Dress has a loose fitting bodice and two skirt tiers with gathers.

Penny is equally lovely in a brushed cotton for winter and a linen for summer. The images show the dress made in a checked rayon, which is perfect for a lightweight floaty dress.
