inspiration: floral dresses

Floral dresses are a wardrobe favorite as they are super girly and can be worn in many seasons. Whether you’re looking for florals that are dainty or big and bold on the frock you’re sewing, you’ll find lots of inspiration and fabric resources here today. I’ve gathered over a half dozen floral dress ideas to inspire you to sew-it-yourself with Oliver + S. Once you find something you like, grab the sewing pattern and floral prints needed and head towards the sewing machine. It’s that easy!

1) Recreate a similar dress to this one using the Hide-and-Seek Dress. It can be tricky to find gold stripe fabric, but here’s an idea.

2) For this playful look, try stitching a Carousel Dress.

3) Sew up a Roller Skate Dress for a comparable understated look.

Happy sewing!

    Love these pretty florals! Great picks. Liberty is always beautiful but AMH, Kaffe Fassett, and the Kaufman ‘London Calling’ line you linked to all offer great florals or floralesques in nice quality fabrics.

  2. Absolutely stunning!
    I’m obviously partial to floral dresses and these go directly to my wish-list 😉

  3. This post is full of such beautiful things, it makes me want to run to my sewing machine and get started! So many wonderful examples, thank you!
