Milton Pinafore by Just Patterns for Peppermint MagazineThe jumper-style dress is a remnant of my childhood, and I can always get down with just one more variation! I always wore boring T-shirts or turtlenecks under my childhood jumpers, but I love the idea of pairing this one with a blouse with puffy sleeves. Lean into the retro!

Lounge Gown by George + GingerThis dress pattern is intended as a swimsuit coverup, but could work for a super casual hang-out. For a similar style with a more formal look, check out the Vision Dress pattern by the same company.

Orla Dress by French Navy PatternsI especially love the slightly gathered skirt–it’s such a fun detail! If you like this pattern, also check out the Morningside Shirt and Dress by the same company.
