The Davenport Dress from Friday Pattern Co is a versatile capsule wardrobe essential. Customize the neckline with short or long sleeves, and enjoy the elegant tie-waist paired with a tiered skirt. Channel detailing at the waist adds refined structure.
This pattern suits intermediate sewers and beyond. Master techniques including gathers, shirring, invisible pockets, an enclosed waist channel, and layered shoulder construction—skills you'll use across future projects.
Best results come from crisp woven fabrics like cotton poplin or quilting cotton. Pair with organic cotton, natural rubber elastic for shirring, and organic cotton ribbon for the waist tie to complete your garment.
