Okay, you’re going to love Willow. She’s the pick-me-up dress you reach for on those days when you feel bloated, tired, or just want something comfy that still makes you look effortlessly cute. Willow is a size-inclusive sewing pattern that moves with you, not against you. No zips, no buttons, just a pull-on style that feels like a hug but looks like you’ve made an effort.
The high neckline gives it a nice elegant vibe, and then you turn around and bam! that low scoop back brings the drama in the prettiest way. The adjustable ties at the waist are such a game-changer because you can loosen or tighten them depending on how you’re feeling that day. And the front darts give the shape without taking away any comfort, so it still feels like a breezy, relaxed fit.
You can sew Willow exactly how you like her: sleeveless, with cute puff sleeves, or with floaty flute sleeves that drape really well in soft fabrics. Make her as a top or a dress, mini, knee, or midi so you can create your dream everyday outfit all from one sewing pattern.
And the details… oh, the details. Bias-bound neckline for a clean finish, generous in-seam pockets big enough to carry your phone, and the cutest secret pocket on the inside where you can pop in a crystal if you’re into manifesting a little magic while you wear it. It’s such a fun make for learning new sewing skills too, without feeling overwhelmed.
Willow now includes three cup size options, a step-by-step sew-along video, and a really thorough fitting guide so you can tailor it perfectly to your unique shape.

I loved making the Willow dress! The instructions are easy to follow and the techniques are not too difficult. I recommend making a toile of the bodice portion of the dress. Emma recently came out with different cup sizes for the pattern, I used the D-cup version and it turned out great. The only mod I made was adding an inch to the length of the bodice. I made the sleeveless midi dress version.
I'm already planning a sleeved, knee-length Willow dress next!
Very easy to follow instructions & a variety of options that make this a very versatile pattern. Will definitely be making multiple garments using this!
Great pattern, easy to follow
