This dress won’t ever go out of style. The Killian dress features a classic silhouette with a fitted bodice, V-neckline, and gathered skirt, closing with buttons up the front. The neckline is finished with a facing, and it has patch pockets across the side seams.

Fabric & Fit
Fabrics to shop: Sew this dress in lightweight or medium-weight woven fabrics such as linen, chambray, batiste, lawn, voile, rayon challis, cupro, and Tencel.
Fabrics to avoid: Avoid heavyweight fabrics for this dress unless you want a very structured silhouette. When you pick out a fabric, think about details like the gathers, buttons, and the overall drape of the skirt.
Fit: This dress is more fitted at the bodice than the skirt, so pay attention to the finished bust measurements.
