Ruby's Dress

Ruby's Dress is made in a classic modest summer design with short, elbow length hemmed sleeves that attach at the shoulder with a few gathers.  The neckline is fairly high and  can come plain or with a pointed or round collar.  The bodice zips in back.  The skirt is long and full and is gathered to the bodice.  Lengths are noted in the size chart.  This is a great everyday work dress. Sewn by license from a pattern by "The King's Daughters".

Ava's Dress

Ava's Dress is a little different from all our other designs.  It is fairly straight with just a slight flare in the skirt.  It closes in the back with a zipper and has back ties which bring in the waist for a bit of shape.  The high neckline is round and you can choose from short or long sleeves.  You may also have this made with a scoop neck which easily slips over your head without the need for a zipper.  Design licensed from KWIK.SEW Pattern Co., Inc. 

Tabitha's Dress

Tabitha's Dress comes in an easy to wear design with a slightly squared neckline.  There are no buttons or zippers and the dress easily goes over the head.  Short sleeves  are finished with either a simple hem or elastic at the very end.  Long sleeves are finished with a small cuff.  The bodice has small darts in the front and back and sits a little above the natural waist.  This dress fits quite loosely at the waist.  Please add back ties if you'd like to pull it in for a trim fit.  The length of this dress is about 50"-51" in all sizes.  In the winter this dress is great with a turtleneck.  In the summer, it's quite comfortable and cool.  Please order this dress based on your bust measurement and be sure to give us your waist size in the box below.  Larger sizes are available on the Plus Size page.  

Optional long sleeves

Esther's Dress

Esther's Dress is a beautiful new design with bodice darts at the waist and a back zipper closing.  For a more formal look, we have dressed it up with a lace collar.  We are enjoying it for everyday wear with a round collar or plain neckline.  This dress comes with either short hemmed sleeves or long sleeves finished with a small cuff.  Back ties are optional.  On most ladies, the bodice will end just a little above the natural waist.  The length of this dress is about 50"-51" in all sizes.  Please order this dress based on your bust measurement and be sure to give us your waist size in the box below.  Larger sizes are available on the Plus Size page. 

With long sleeves

Eva's Yoke Dress

A modest design for women that is different from anything else on our website.  The gored skirt is full and easy to move in. It is gathered to the bodice with a roomy elastic waist.  The bodice is gathered to a shoulder yoke and the back has an inverted box pleat.  A band collar finishes the neckline.  The sleeves are gathered at the shoulders and the long sleeves are finished with a small cuff.  3/4 length sleeves are finished with a small elastic ruffle. The overall design makes for a very comfortable and modest dress.  It can be worn alone but is also a favorite for pairing with a vest, pinafore or apron.  Length of this dress is about 50"-51".  Sewn by license from a pattern by "The King's Daughters". 

Ladies Basic Dress Set

Here's a practical way to stay a little warmer in the winter months and also be ready for a day of hard work.  We have taken a Charity's Cape Dress and removed the cape to make a comfortable elastic waist dress.  It comes with 3/4 length sleeves so your arms are covered but there's no need to roll them up for work.  The dress is suitable to be worn alone.  On top goes a coordinating Full Apron/Pinafore which extends around the sides of the dress to cover the back and finishes off with long ties.  The back bodice buttons at the neck and is simple to put on and take off.  The apron will be a couple inches shorter than the dress.  We recommend using a solid for one and a floral or plaid for the other.  By pairing the two, you receive a generous savings over buying each item separately.  Apron is sewn by license from a pattern by "The King's Daughters".  

In PC66 with optional long sleeves

Anna's Cape Dress

This cape dress comes with a full front and back cape and a simple, gathered waistline.  It is made specifically for those who want a relaxed, modest fitting cape dress that hangs loosely at the waist.  The back closes with a long zipper and an elastic waist can be added for those who prefer it.  Standard sleeves are elbow length and finished with a simple hem but can be made 3/4 length or long.  These are finished with a small ruffle.  We think this dress has a looser fit than Charity's Cape Dress.  Sewn by license from a pattern by "The King's Daughters".

In PC 38 with 3/4 length sleeves

Charity's Cape Dress

For many, the cape dress defines what a modest dress should be.  Charity's Cape Dress has a full cape in front and back, a gentle elastic waist and invisible back zipper.  We find that it fits beautifully and drapes quite nicely.  The overall finished look is quite tailored.  The skirt is gently gathered at the waist and very full at the hem.  There are no extra bells and whistles on this dress.  Short sleeves at about elbow length are standard but you may choose 3/4 or long sleeves. This dress is a simple, practical design and reflects the daily dress of many women from conservative churches. 

For those who desire a simple back zipper dress with an elastic waist, we can also make this dress without a cape.  Please see the options below.

Sizing for this dress is based on your bust and waist size.  In order for this dress to fit properly, please measure carefully and use the dropdown menu to choose the appropriate size.  Use the larger size if between sizes.  Because of the width of the skirt, we encourage you to use one of our Tropical Breeze fabrics.  In other fabrics, the skirt will still be full but not quite as wide as the pattern calls for at the hem. 

Ladies Nicole's Dress

A popular style with small tucks at the waist, puffed elbow-length sleeves with narrow cuffs and a long, full skirt. The bodice falls just above the waist on most women.  It can be an everyday dress or a formal, special occasion outfit when made in the right fabric. Try adding a collar or long sleeves for variation. The basic dress comes without a collar (pointed and round collars shown) and short elbow-length sleeves with cuffs. Lengths are noted in size chart.

Victoria's Dress

This is the dress we often make for ourselves.  Similar in design to Nicole's Dress, we remove the puffed sleeves and add sleeves without gathers at the shoulders for a mature look.  There are small tucks at the waist and a long, full skirt.  The bodice falls just above the waist on most women.  You may choose either elbow length hemmed sleeves, 3/4 length or long, elastic ruffle sleeves.  A pointed collar and back ties are included in the price.  Lengths are noted in size chart.  Sewn by license from a pattern by "The King's Daughters".

Weekday Dress

Another dress appreciated by our customers. It is best described as a shirt-dress with a raised waist, a modified shirt collar and buttons down the bodice. Sleeves are short and the skirt is slightly less full than Nicole's Dress. Both long and short sleeves are straight with only a few tiny tucks at the shoulder. The shoulders are a little wider than most of our other dresses and the fit is quite comfortable.  Removable back ties pull the dress in when desired.  A little different from our other dresses and a very nice style.  Length is approximately 50" long.

Mary's Dress

Another everyday design with short sleeves (shorter than our other dresses), a scoop neckline and front buttons.  The bodice ends at the natural waist and has darts in the front and back, giving this dress a tailored look.  The sleeves have small gathers at the shoulders but are not "puffy".  The skirt is gathered and full.  This is a great casual dress for a very reasonable price.  Sewn by permission from a pattern by Primrose Lane.

Pullover Dress

Super simple and quite pretty.  Our pullover dress has a gently scooped neckline and bodice which slips over the head without any need for buttons.  A loose fitting dress, the back ties allow you to pull in the bodice for a better fit.  Sleeves are straight with only a few tiny tucks and hemmed.  The skirt can be gathered as shown or A-Line without gathers for a trimmer look.  Please see Overall Jumper for a picture of what the A-Line waistline looks like.  The bodice is slightly raised, like our Weekday Dress.  You are welcome to choose two different fabrics.  If so, when you list your fabrics please put the bodice fabric first and the skirt fabric second.  This dress is about 49"-50" long in all sizes.  Pattern used by permission from "Everyday Dresses" by Taylor Made Designs.

Linda's Shirt Dress

This shirt dress reminds us of a classic jean dress.  It is versatile and comes with many options.  It fits quite loosely for busy days but has back ties to pull in the waist.  Sleeves are either short with a straight hem or long with cuffs. The shirt collar folds back as shown but behind it there is a top button should you wish to button all the way up.  If so, the dress appears to have a simple square collar.  The skirt is gathered to the waist and is full at the hem but smaller at the waist.  If you want a true "jean dress" look, you may add buttons down the entire front of the dress. We would not recommend this dress for ladies who are a small size 6.  Design licensed from KWIK.SEW Pattern Co., Inc.

Joy's Day Dress

A relaxed and youthful dress, Joy's Day Dress is perfect for busy moms or anyone else who gets a lot of work done during daylight hours.  The scoop neck does not come too low but easily slips over your head.  Sleeves are either short with a straight hem or long with cuffs.  The skirt is gathered to the waist and is cut quite full at the hem but smaller at the waist.  Two patch pockets are sewn to the front skirt, but can be left off if you prefer.  This dress fits quite loosely at the waist and comes with back ties.  We would not recommend this dress for anyone who is a small size 6.  Design licensed from KWIK.SEW Pattern Co., Inc.

Sarah's Dress

A pullover dress with princess seams and a flared skirt.  This dress has a round neckline, short cap sleeves and ties in the back.  It is very similar to our girl's Sarah's Dress and would make nice mother/daughter combinations.  For fall and winter, just add 3/4 length sleeves.   The approximate finished length for all sizes is 50-51" long.
