Named Clothing - PDF Sewing Pattern - SYLI Dress & Blouse

The Syli Dress & Blouse PDF Sewing Pattern by Named Clothing includes two relaxed women's clothing styles: a calf-length dress and a hip-length blouse. Both designs have a loose fit, gathered bodice and a shallow tuck across the chest, creating soft volume through the upper body. The slightly longer back hem adds shape to the otherwise relaxed silhouette.

Both versions have a bound neckline with a small vent at the back, secured with ties. The Syli dress has a calf-length skirt with two deep tucks around the hem, in-seam side pockets and three-quarter-length sleeves. The sleeve ends are gathered and finished with binding and ties, echoing the neckline detail. The skirt and sleeves have deep tucks that add structure and shape.

The Syli blouse has a hip-length hem and straight half-length sleeves with simple turned-up finishes. Its relaxed shape makes it an easy everyday top to wear with trousers, jeans or skirts.

Designed for lightweight to medium-weight non-stretch woven fabrics, Syli works well in cotton, linen, Tencel and rayon shirtings or dress-weight fabrics. Choose a fabric with little drape for a more structured silhouette, or a softer fabric for a looser, flowing finish.

This intermediate sewing pattern is available in sizes XS–XXL. Both versions have generous ease, so check the finished garment measurements before choosing your size. If you prefer a closer fit, you may want to make a size smaller than usual.

Whether you're looking for a gathered dress sewing pattern, a relaxed blouse PDF pattern or a loose-fitting women's dress with pockets, Syli offers two versatile designs in one pattern.
