Sew Over It Oona Dress

Buy the Oona Dress sewing pattern from Sew Over It. Oona is a stylish summer dress that’s super easy to sew. She’s ideal for beginners and incredibly speedy for more experienced sewers.

A sleeveless dress with wide bra-concealing straps, Oona has no closures at all – you just pop it over your head and you’re ready to go! Shaping is added with the choice of a wide elastic at the waist or ties at the back. The neckline is finished neatly with a facing, and there are two cheeky side splits to make it easier to move in Oona’s straight skirt. And if you can’t live without them, there are optional side-seam pockets too.

Oona works beautifully in cotton poplin or lawn, as well as more structured fabrics like linen or a light denim. For a more fluid look you can make her in a viscose, crepe or linen viscose. With minimal seams, Oona is perfect for showcasing a fun print.
