A closed-shoulder yoke and gathered elbow sleeves set the direction for this prairie maxi dress. The intended design pairs a modest round neckline with a long gathered skirt for a relaxed 1970s-inspired outline.
Design details
The planned design includes:
- Closed-shoulder bodice with a front and back yoke
- Round neckline with a short button-front opening
- Gathered elbow-length sleeves with narrow cuffs
- Long gathered skirt with a lower gathered tier
Fabric ideas
Consider cotton lawn, lightweight chambray or a soft woven cotton for the proposed gathers. Select a fabric that compresses easily at seams without becoming bulky, and assess opacity before deciding on lining.
Sewing notes
The planned work includes yoke construction, even gathering, a short front opening and sleeve cuffs. Check the yoke position, sleeve movement and skirt length in a fitting sample.
Wear the finished design with ankle boots or simple sandals to suit the season.
