Matchy Matchy Venice Villa Gown and Blouse

Buy the Venice Villa Gown and Blouse sewing pattern from Matchy Matchy Sewing Club. A little romantic, a little playful, and never too precious, this pattern is all about easy elegance.

A gently dropped shoulder creates the look of a subtle cap sleeve, while a fully lined bodice keeps things beautifully finished. View A (gown) features a full gathered skirt, generous in-seam pockets, and your choice of a high or dropped bodice. Add the optional back ties for a little extra shape, or leave them off for an easy, flowing fit. View B (blouse) brings all the charm of the gown into a fun, peplum silhouette. Pair it with your favourite jeans, shorts or skirts for an everyday look, or dress it up when the occasion calls.

Suggested fabrics: Light to midweight woven fabrics. Your fabric choice will shape the overall look and feel of the finished garment. For a more structured silhouette with volume and shape, choose fabrics like cotton poplin, lightweight denim, or cotton blends. For a softer, more relaxed drape, opt for washed linen, lightweight cotton, or other breathable wovens with movement. For a dressier look, try special occasion fabrics like silk taffeta or dupioni silk to give the gown a beautiful, elevated finish.

Fabric requirements: Extra fabric may be needed to match stripes, plaids or directional prints.
