My Favourite Easy Dress Pattern

A review of Merchant & Mills Ellis and Hattie Dresses

Reviewed by sewstainability on 22nd October, 2019

I have made this pattern twice and it was a pleasure to sew both times. It is designed to be a loose fit so there isn’t a whole lot of fitting involved and there are no tricky zips or buttonholes to contend with. I have made this version in an 8oz denim and it is warm and comfortable to wear all day. I made the Ellis Dress with the Hattie pockets and I think it is my favourite dress. The plain fabric really shows off all the opportunities for topstitching around the pockets and the neckline. Highly recommend!
