Emporia Dressmaking Patterns _ Zoe Dress – Women Size 6 – 30

The Emporia Zoe dress is a semi fitted shirt dress, that features pleats at the waist, raglan sleeves, a front placket, two piece collar with stand, couture cutaway pockets, and side splits at the hem. The rectangular pleats create a subtle corseting effect at the waist, while the three quarter length sleeves and slight a-line shaping make for a very elegant silhouette. Make it from crisp cotton or cotton sateen for a more formal look, or go more casual with linen or a bold print. You could hack it to be longer or try it out as a top.

Zoe is an intermediate pattern due to all her exciting features, but she’s also a great tool for any sewist wanting to be more adventurous with their skills. She’s the ideal learning curve for plackets and more advanced pockets – take your time and enjoy the process!

The Emporia Zoe dress comes in sizes 6 – 30.
