The Magnolia Dress is sure to be a showstopper (while still being comfortable and easy to wear, the Deer&Doe trademark!) With its statuesque silhouette and killer neckline, the maxi length is ideal for formal events; the long skirt length and sleeves balance the depth of the mock-wrap neckline, and a slit adds interest and movement to the ample skirt. The shorter version is more casual and flirty with a unique butterfly sleeve and higher neckline. Both versions feature a bodice with princess seams, a structured waist, back tie, invisible zipper in the side seam, and flared + paneled skirt.

  • Version A is maxi length with a low-cut bust and a long set-in sleeve.
  • Version B is above knee length with a higher-cut neckline and fluttery butterfly sleeve.

FAQ

How do I print my PDF pattern?

All of our patterns come in a Letter/A4 format (for printing on a home printer) and 36"x48"/A0 format (for printing at a copyshop). Some patterns also come in a projector format. Please check the INFO+ tab under the description to see page counts and file formats available.

For more help printing and assembling our PDF patterns, please visit our PDF Printing Guide

How do I download my PDF Pattern?

First, we suggest creating an account in our shop so you can access all your files in one place at any time!

After you place an order, you will land on a page with a custom download link. You can download your pattern then, or use the link included in the order confirmation sent via email. If you don’t receive a download link via email, please check your junk mail as it may have been rerouted (and add us to your safe senders list so it doesn't happen again!)

Am I charged for taxes?

All Canadians are charged GST and possibly PST depending on where they live in Canada. We do not charge taxes in the US.

Customers based in the EU and UK will also be charged VAT on all goods. Prices are VAT inclusive. Regulations have changed in recent years requiring VAT to be collected based on where the customer resides (and not where the company is located) so we are legally required to collect and remit VAT even though our company is based in Canada. You can read more about the VAT regulations here.

What currency will I be charged in?

Use the dropdown at the top of our menu to choose USD, CAD, AUD, GBP, or EUR dollars to view prices and checkout in the currency of your choice.

For AUD currency, the price you'll see is linked to the daily exchange rate between USD and your currency, which means prices may fluctuate. For our Canadian, EU and UK, customers, we have established set prices that will not vary with exchange rates.

What is your return policy?

We cannot issue refunds on digital goods like PDF patterns and courses if they have been downloaded or watched. If you have not downloaded your file and would like a refund, please contact us.

Needed to adapt for small breasts

Beautiful dress, and great pattern! I did need to adapt the princess seam's curve a bit to fit my smaller breast. I initially just chose a smaller pattern size for the bust, but it gave me a hollow saggy top, since the cup size doesn't really shift between pattern sizes. It was easy enough to draft in though, just flattening the curve by a few cm.
I made a version 2 with the skirt from version 1. It looks amazing, I feel really good in it!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the Magnolia dress! We're glad you were able to adjust the princess seam curve to get the perfect fit for your bust—it sounds like Version 2 turned out beautifully!
For anyone else needing bust adjustments on Magnolia, we have a helpful blog article here: https://deer-and-doe-blog.closetcorepatterns.com/en/fit-bust-adjustments-on-magnolia/
Enjoy your gorgeous dress!

Fabulous easy dress with big impact

I made this up for a annual gala event and it was relatively quick and easy to make. I used a stretch velvet that unfortunately shed glitter everywhere but looked fab. I will definitely be making up again in a better quality fabric as it's a relatively quick sew and easy to fit. I did have to take it in quite a bit at the hips.

Great pattern

I own and love a lot of Deer and Doe patterns and the Magnolia didn't disappoint. I made view B maxi length in a light silk satin for a wedding. It's was easy to make and easier to fit. The instructions, as always, were clear and well illustrated. I have a few more Magnolia dresses planned in cotton lawn.
