The RUCKUS dress is a playful, everyday design that comes with two sleeve options – short or long – and two lengths: maxi or knee-length. Signature details include adjustable drawstrings to shape the hem and a bold patch pocket at the front.

This slip-on style has no zipper, making it an easy and enjoyable project for sewists of all levels. Comfortable yet full of character, the RUCKUS dress is the perfect all-rounder: simple enough for everyday wear, yet effortlessly elevated for festive occasions.
