The Poppy Dress is a versatile and playful dress, fitted at the shoulders and relaxed through the body thanks to tiered gathers in two lengths. Make Poppy your own with short sleeves or long sleeves gently gathered into cuffs for year-round versatility.

Techniques involved include sewing straight seams, setting sleeves, creating button plackets, continuous sleeve plackets, attaching cuffs, adding band collars, gathering, and buttonholes.
