Friday Pattern Co. – The Hughes Dress Pattern

The Hughes Dress is the perfect everyday dress. It features Viennese seams, sleeves that gather at the cap, and a gorgeous scoop neckline. The bodice is lined and the skirt has an A-line sweep. It buttons up the front and has an adjustable lace-up tie in the back. The tie can be cinched in or loosened depending on the desired fit. The Hughes Dress is designed to be a timeless style with beautiful construction details that can be treasured for generations.

The Hughes Dress is designed for woven fabrics. You will get a different look depending on the fabric you select. A drapey rayon or silk will give a more elegant dressy look, while a more sturdy fabric like a linen will give you a gorgeous everyday dress. We encourage you to be creative and daring with fabric! It would look amazing in a double gauze cotton, a nice shirting, rayon challis, or lightweight canvas – you can’t really go wrong with this dress.
