Hi everyone! Today, I'm thrilled to be part of the "My Favorite Oliver + S Pattern" series. If you're familiar with Oliver + S patterns, you know how amazing they are, and picking just one favorite is like choosing your favorite ice cream flavor—impossible! But if I had to narrow it down, the Ice Cream Dress stands out as a timeless classic.
As soon as I discovered the Ice Cream Dress pattern, I fell in love. Its versatility is incredible. Whether you're working with cotton, linen, or even lightweight wool, this pattern accommodates a wide range of Fabrics. Plus, the options to transform it into a blouse, dress, or even a color-blocked masterpiece are pure genius. For beginners, it’s straightforward enough to sew without feeling overwhelming, while more experienced sewists will appreciate its simplicity yet charm.
The best part? It really highlights bold prints beautifully. Unlike other patterns that often break up large prints with seams or embellishments, the Ice Cream Dress lets the fabric shine. My very first attempt was with a spooky Halloween print from Riley Blake. I adjusted the layout slightly to fit within fat quarters, and surprisingly, my daughter still wears this dress as a tunic despite outgrowing it by three sizes!
Over time, I've tailored this dress to reflect her evolving interests. Last year, she went through a pirate phase, and the moment she spots this dress in her closet, it's game over. She absolutely adores it!
One of my favorite features is the contrast yoke, pockets, and hem band. These areas are perfect for adding a personal touch. On my most recent version, I got inspired by my grandmother's midcentury transfer patterns—a treasure trove of memories since she taught me how to sew. Using her techniques, I embroidered the yoke with stem stitches, daisy chains, French knots, satin stitches, and backstitches for outlines. Finding the exact shade of pinky-purple was tricky, so I blended several colors together to create the desired effect. To keep the embroidery front and center, I skipped the topstitching on the yoke and hand-stitched the back for a seamless finish.
And let’s not forget the little details that make this pattern special, like the single button at the back of the neck. It adds just the right amount of charm and gives you creative freedom to incorporate unique elements from your fabric stash. You can even use something quirky or unexpected to give it a personal flair.
Recently, I shared this pattern in a sew-along on my blog, Wisconstitches. If you’re interested in kids’ and women’s sewing, quilting, home decor, or even knitting, do check it out! Follow along for more projects, and don’t forget to like my Facebook page for sneak peeks into my sewing adventures.
Happy sewing, and warm wishes from Wisco!
P.S. Special thanks to Oliver + S for inspiring countless hours of creativity and joy. Keep those patterns coming—they truly bring our imaginations to life!
