Digital PDF Sewing Pattern (no paper version sent): Cowl-Collar Bolero Dress — Effortlessly Elegant, Artistically Draped & Beginner-Friendly 
Pattern code: mc2-2006

Create a truly striking silhouette with this uniquely draped midi dress. Designed with dramatic batwing sleeves and a sculptural cowl neckline that transforms into a wide, scarf-like collar, this piece channels the organic, fluid aesthetic reminiscent of Michele Oka Doner’s iconic textile forms.
The dress offers a loose, relaxed fit with beautiful movement, making it both comfortable to wear and surprisingly easy to sew. Perfect for anyone who loves minimalist elegance with a touch of artistic drama.
✨ Inspired by Michele Oka Doner’s sculptural dress design (see images)

As always, it's impossible to give fabric amounts for every fabric type and every size. For clarity, I provide yardage for both the smallest and largest sizes, based on a suitable fabric width. To stay on the safe side, you may follow the largest cutting layout for any other size.
