The Drawstring Dress is a simple yet elegant dress that can be worn in the comfort of your home, out an about, or even for a nice event. It has a drop sleeve and you can choose between long and short lengths. Nursing or pregnant? We’ve got you covered! This dress is meant to work all throughout pregnancy and has a nursing liner option. We also have a kids pattern so you can match your mini!

The women’s version of this dress is semi fitted at the top and form fitted around the hips. Please note that about half of those who tested this dress preferred a looser fit around the hips and sized up the skirt. Please make sure you read through the instructions completely. Especially pay attention to sizing/fabric notes to get the perfect fit for YOU!

I highly suggest making a muslin out of cheaper fabric first to make sure you’ve got the correct fit before cutting into your favorite fabric!
