Sew House Seven Sauvie Sundress Sewing Pattern. Designed by Sew House Seven, the Sauvie sewing pattern is the perfect strappy summer dress to reach for when you are wanting comfort, ease and style in those hot summer months. It’s also perfect for layering over a t-shirt as a pinafore when the temperatures drop.

The low front and back V-necklines and narrow straps were designed to cover bra straps and optional bra keeper instructions are included to hide and secure your bra straps within the garment for that extra couture detail. 

With two pocket options, three hem finishes, two waist finishes and two hem lengths, you can mix and match any of the version’s features. 

Sauvie can be anything from a swim cover-up to a casual summer dress to an elegant evening gown depending on your fabric choice.
