Summer Sundress

Sewing Level: Intermediate

Pay what you can

We ♡ our sewing community! Your support keeps our patterns accessible, and helps us to keep bobbin along.

Lazy picnics in the park, long walks on the beach or balmy evenings out with friends: there’s nowhere this breezily stylish summer frock won’t take you!

For this fantastic free pattern, we’ve teamed up the lovely lasses from Pattern Runway, a boutique pattern company with all kinds of stylish downloadable sewing patterns. Wear this little number with flats, with hats, with sunnies and with headscarves – dress it up or down for any occasion and enjoy sporting this seasonal staple all summer long. We made ours in a light, breathable cotton from The Fabric Store, but it also works well in lived-in linen or beautiful, draped silk – play around with different pattern options like stripes, polka dots, printed or plain. And the best thing about this fantastic frock? All the compliments (and requests) you’ll get when your friends find out that you made it with your own fair hands.

What our sewing community says

I set myself a challenge with this princess seam dress that I knew wouldn’t fit my A cup without adjustments. So, two toiles later I’m SO happy with the results of this #GatheredSunDress from @PeppermintMagazine – I also put in an invisible zip for the first time! I enjoyed having a challenge with a deadline so I had to make myself get it done. This is going to be my most worn item to BBQs this summer by far.

@NaomiKSews

One sewing pattern, two dresses. This is the #PeppermintSunDress from Peppermint by Pattern Runway. I toiled the bodice first to get my sizing correct. Both dresses are in lovely linen with cotton muslin lining from Pitt Trading. The adjustments I made were to omit the waistband from the dress and I moved the invisible zip closure to centre back instead of side. I love the contrast panels on the bodice and pockets! Challenges I faced: my first time making a fully lined bodice with princess seams, pattern matching the striped version so the side seams and back seam stripes match up. Very happy with both dresses and I'll make this again for certain!

@Sew_Emma

I used the pattern by Peppermint #PeppermintSunDress by Pattern Runway. As always the instructions were amazing. I shortened the pattern by 9cm from the skirt. If I made it again I would size down the bodice and shorten it slightly. The fabric was from my stash and is some lovely gingham from @SewHayleyJane. I enjoyed playing with the direction of the pattern!

Here at Peppermint, we’re passionate about all things craft, creativity and community!

The strands of Peppermint’s DNA are bonded together with buttons and thread. Since our beginnings in 2008, sustainable fashion, either by brands that are working to bring change to the industry or those made by your own two hands, is at our cotton-loving core. We love the undeniable happiness that is woven through the maker community. It’s a tough old world out there at the moment, and anything that brings joy with a side of kindness and connection (and a new creative endeavour) is a good thing indeed. We ♡ our sewing community and hope you ♡ our sewing patterns!
