The dress you’ll want to wear everywhere!
Naomi is a modern take on a button-front dress, designed with delicate details that make it feel both polished and easy to wear. The bodice features a distinctive center front panel that extends into the skirt, creating a clean, continuous line. A row of self-covered functional buttons and loops runs down the front, finished with facings and a placket.
Shaping is achieved with released pleats at the bust and darts at the back. The skirt flares gently from the waist with princess panels. The bodice is fully lined for a clean finish inside and out.
Pattern pieces all include a cutting line for a blouse-length version. An invisible zipper can be added at the side seam of either the dress or the blouse to make it more practical for everyday wear.
Naomi is available in two size ranges: 34–46, drafted for a B/C cup and featuring two pleats at the bust, and 46–60, drafted for a DD cup with three pleats to better accommodate more bust shaping.
For this pattern, I recommend light to mid-weight woven fabrics with good drape such as linen and linen blends, viscose or silk crepe or tencel twill.
I am 5'3 (1m60) and I wear the olive linen-viscose blend and the white linen blouse in size 34 with no modifications. Lilli is wearing a 100% linen pink sample in size 52 with no modifications. Pauline wears the blouse version in cotton chambray in size 46 of the 46-60 size range with the waist shaping removed.

Sizing
I draft and grade my sewing patterns for a height of 5’5” (1.65m) from size 34 to 60 (see below). When applicable, the size range is divided between 34-46, developed for B/C cup size, and 46-60, developed for a DD cup size.
If your body measurements are at least one size outside of the size range, I grade up or down at no cost.
See the sizing page for more information.
