Collection: Office dresses

Dresses that work as hard as you do: clean lines, smart collars and fits that still look sharp at 5 pm. This collection brings together our dress sewing patterns for the office, from relaxed shirt dresses to tailored silhouettes.

Look for the OAK shirt dress with epaulettes and pockets, the BARONNE coat dress with press studs and a flap pocket, ÉLAN with its V-shaped back collar, and POEM, a fitted dress with dropped shoulders. For a softer look, try the box-cut linen dress with a pointy collar or the wool dress with shoulder pleats.

These patterns work well in fabrics that suit a work wardrobe, such as wool, wool blends, linen, twill or heavier cotton. All patterns are digital PDF sewing patterns: download right after purchase, print at home or at a copy shop, and sew along with illustrated step-by-step instructions. Most come in sizes 34 to 50.
