This mini dress sewing pattern with long sleeves is as timeless as a Chanel bag—something you can wear again and again for years. I love a dress that works for everything—wear it to the office, then head straight to a party without changing. If you're building a capsule wardrobe, this mini dress pattern is a must-have.

I designed this dress sewing pattern with all my favorite details: a fully lined dress (except for the sleeves), a crew neck, shoulder pads, a hidden back zipper, and a flared silhouette for a feminine look.


I’ve searched everywhere for a dress like this, but they always seem to come sleeveless. And let’s be honest—office air conditioners were not made for sleeveless dresses!

Whether you're looking for a classic everyday dress, an elegant party dress, or even a minimalist wedding dress, this sewing pattern is designed to be versatile, timeless, and effortlessly stylish.

I can’t wait to see how you make it your own!
