What a beautiful flowy dress perfect for our Autumn weather here in Australia. Love that it hides all the lumps and bumps. An absolute stunner thank you RP.
Donna Jones –
I feel pretty, oh so pretty! I LOVE this dress and it brings out my inner girl! Seriously, it fits me like a glove, all the seams are French or bound so there is absolutely no raw edges (although you can use a serger) the instructions are full and the visuals are great. Sizes from xxs (31″,25″,34″) to 5xl (54″,50″,57″) this is one of my essential summer wardrobe items!

Connie Lusto –
So excited with how my dress turned out! There are a lot of steps to this pattern, but the instructions are very clear and the finishes are absolutely beautiful. The final dress is well worth the effort. I made the sleeveless version as my first, and I plan to tackle a long sleeve version next!
Adelle Pears –
This dress feels amazing. It’s very flattering and feels really light and floaty. The construction involves a few techniques but as always the instructions are incredibly clear and hold your hand the whole time. I can’t wait for the right weather to show this off properly!
Charlene Lee –
The dress is a pretty quick sew and the options are nice to have. It’s a bit different from other dress similar to it in that it has the neck panel added on . Dress looks nice on and is comfortable to wear.
Deb Sendelbach –
What a great summer dress with several options. I especially love the collar. Great fit also. Another winner from RP!
Sonia Debove –
I sewed my version in a WAX FABTRIC and i like it very much.
Sabrina Ropp –
This is such a beautiful, versatile pattern. It reminds me of ’70s style, but can be modernized easily. Dressed up with something like lightweight velvet, or more casual with linen or a bold floral cotton, this pattern can do it all.
Jasmine Chandler –
This is a really cute and fun pattern. I love the styling of this dress and the French seams to give it a clean finish.
Branka Čelić –
Summer Maxi is perfect summer dress, light and classy for every occasion. It suits all kind of summer…you can make it sleeveless , with short sleeves and even with long sleeves. It can be just bellow the knees or if you add frill in goes all the way to the ankles, depending on your height.
Maja Rus –
Cozy dress with many options to choose from. I chose long with frill and sleveless. I already know that I will proudly wear this dress on my long summer vacation …
Nali –
The Maxi Summer Dress has very interesting gathered bust-panels which are attached to the front skirt. The gorgeous design gives the dress a very nice flow and flattering without being too tight. I chose the sleeveless option for the hot weather. But will be making the long sleeves too!
Genevieve Lynne Grossmann –
This is a really pretty pattern. It has some complicated parts and is made with woven fabric, making it quite unforgiving. I really like the end result and I enjoyed my sew but I feel that I would be more comfortable sixing up one for the next one.
Alisha Sparks Adams –
Lovely pattern for summer! I found that this dress ran a bit large on me. Even with that hiccup in will be making a second, smaller one. The shaping makes this dress exceptionally flattering.
Glo Ban –
Fantastic design! I absolutely love this pattern, quite a few parts but when it comes together it looks epic! Highly recommend!
Jenna Page –
“What can I say about this summer maxi?!
It is a gorgeous pattern! Amazing easy to follow instructions for a dress that will be the envy of all your friends!
As always with Rebecca Page patterns there are options, and who doesn’t love some options! Varying sleeve lengths and the optional frill means this dress can be made to suit any occasion!
I can’t recommend this pattern enough! “
Luana Furlanetto –
This is a beautiful pattern! I love the detail of the buttons on the neckband. It’s not as hard to sew as it looks, and the result is beautiful!
