Mistral is a sophisticated dress that effortlessly bridges casual and formal occasions. This elegant design features a V-neckline and short dolman sleeves for a seamless, comfortable fit. The bodice is cut on the bias and flows gracefully into the skirt, creating a beautiful ruched effect at the waist that enhances the natural drape of the fabric. The neckline is neatly finished with facings, while invisible hems provide a polished final touch. Deceptively simple with only 4 pattern pieces to assemble, this versatile pattern is available in both midi and maxi lengths and works beautifully with both woven fabrics (finished with an invisible zipper) and knits (no zipper required).

  • View A is a maxi-length woven dress. It is finished in the back with an invisible zipper.
  • View B is a midi-length woven dress. It is finished in the back with an invisible zipper.
  • View C is a maxi-length knit dress.
  • View D is a midi-length knit dress.

Suggested Fabric: 

  • For the woven version of this dress, choose mid to heavyweight fabrics with good drape such as Tencel twill and more substantial silks and viscoses. Lighter weight drapey fabrics may be used but may create rippling along the zipper.
  • For the knit version, use knits with good drape, weight, and body with moderate stretch such as stretch velvet and lightweight Ponte. Heavier weight stretch jersey can also be used.

Mistral dress

I was a bit sceptical about this dress. The construction looked too simple to be true. I was so wrong. The drafting is perfect. I made a midi version out of linen and moved the back zip to the side. I could not be happier.

Flattering Dress

I have been searching the internet looking for this type of dress.
I would have preferred to buy a packet pattern instead of pdf as an Australian customer there have been challenges with downloading and printing the correct size. I have made a toile in satin back crepe which I’m quite happy with it.
I will definitely be making it again and again.
4 star rating due to less than optimal instruction and the lack of international sizing

Deer and Doe patterns are classic

I’ve made Myosotis, two Melilot blouses, and several other Deer and Doe patterns and I amwaiting for my fabric to get going on the Mistral. I know it will be great.

Dress for rehearsal dinner

My daughter found the Mistral pattern on line and wanted me to make it out of a crinkled crepe fabric for a rehearsal dinner. It fit her perfectly and was so easy to make. Thank you.

gorgeous dress!

I was so happy to see a new dress pattern and this did not disappoint!
It is a great pattern and generally pretty easy if you have sewn a V neck before. What makes it unique is the lovely drape around the top.
Often patterns end up being too big but I chose the size on my measurements and it was spot on. (glad I didn't size down!) Can't wait to make a velvet version!

Lovely!

This is a beautiful dress with great instructions that were easy to follow. I needed to make some adjustments to the torso length and bust which is normal for me. I have made both the knit and woven.

Mistral dress

I made the mistral dress knit version. Just yesterday. It was quick to make. Brilliant and easy to understand instructions. I would definitely make another and will try the woven version in the spring. Looks fabulous on and true to size. I would ensure your waist measurement is accurate as it is a close fit at the waist.
