Milou — Linen Color-Block Dress Sewing Pattern (PDF)
Description:
Our loose-fitted and partially gathered Milou dress combines two shades of white linens: an optic white and a buttery off-white for a monochromatic and very stylish look. All-white just elevates everything so much more, don't you think?
A perfect beginner project, this dress is a breeze to make and a pleasure to wear! Cut from our softened medium weight natural linen, it looks and feels effortless and chic.

Customer Questions and Answers
This lovely free pattern made up beautifully in a golden mid-weight linen I had in my stash from Fabrics-store.com. I am 5'tall and made the smallest size. There was still plenty of room for movement and the length worked well for my height. Thank you for this pattern. So far, I have had only success with very little adjustment to the patterns provided here.
Easy to follow color block take on classic shape dress. Thanks
I love this dress. I made it in lime and sage and it looks great. I did make a couple of changes which is that I added a panel of contrast fabric across the bottom and added pockets (a girls gotta have pockets!). Something to note though is that some pages are misnumbered. The row that should be 40-49 are numbered 20-29 (so there are two rows with the same numbers). But they printed in order so I just taped together in the order they came and all worked out well.
I love how this came out. The pattern was easy because there was no fitting required. The size was accurate to the size chart. The yardage of fabric works. I used a little less. I hope to make this pattern again.
i tried it with some leftover fabrics, very cute dress, perfect for summer next time i might try exactly the color on the model, very fresh coice!
Linen in sage and lime.
