I’ve been on such a summer dress kick lately, and as I’ve made more of them, I’ve been experimenting with different techniques and styles. For today’s dress, I created a ruffle yoke neckline to make a short sleeve shift dress. It was so fun to make and I’m excited to share today! I used this fabric from Fabric.com, which sadly sold out super fast, but this one is similar, as is this one and this one. And I love this one.

Also, I’ve teamed up with Fabric.com — one of my favorite online shops to find fabric — to give away a $100 Fabric.com gift card so you can get yourself some fabric and make dresses with me! Instructions to enter are at the bottom of this post, so scroll down to enter.

I’m also excited to share that this look is being featured on the cover of Trove today! If you have not checked out their app, make sure you download it here and follow me!

Matching thread

Merrick's Art DIY Ruffle Yoke Dress

[note: I do not provide printable patterns, only the tutorials. I make all my patterns from scratch and this video shows you how to do that!]

First you need to create your pattern. You’ll need a DRESS FRONT (cut on the folded edge so it’s one piece), a DRESS BACK, NECKLINE LININGS for each of these pieces, 2 CAP SLEEVES, and 4 RUFFLE PIECES.

Step 1. As shown in the patterns, you’ll need to cut the yoke off of each DRESS FRONT + BACK piece. Take your DRESS FRONT YOKE and attach the lining with right sides together.

Step 2. Repeat step 1 for the DRESS BACK YOKE pieces and NECKLINE pieces.

Step 3. Take your ruffle pieces and pull them so the top is straight. Since they’re cut in a swirl, pulling them straight will create the nice full ruffles. You’ll need to sew the front ruffle pieces together at the center (not illustrated) to create the half circle. That’s the part that will go across your chest.

Step 4. With right sides of the fabric together, sew the ruffle to the yoke with a straight stitch.

Step 5. Repeat Step 4 for the back yoke pieces.

Step 6. Now take the entire FRONT yoke and ruffle piece and attach it to the rest of the FRONT DRESS piece with right sides together.

Step 7. Repeat Step 6 for the BACK DRESS and BACK yoke and ruffle pieces. Remember, there will be two separate BACK pieces, so attach them separately.

Step 8. Now take your two BACK DRESS pieces and sew them together with right sides together and a straight stitch. [note: the reason we do this as two separate pieces is to create a nice sharp V in the back.]

Step 9. Take your FRONT and BACK DRESS pieces and attach them at the shoulders with a straight stitch and right sides together.

Step 10. Take your cap sleeve and hem it to your desired length.

Step 11. Lay your dress open and flat on the floor, right side of the fabric facing up. Take your cap sleeve with right side down and pin the top to the arm hole. Attach with a straight stitch.

Step 12. With right sides together, sew up your dress pieces with a straight stitch.

Step 13. Hem the dress to your desired length and you’re done!

    Love this dress so much!!! If I were to win the giveaway, I would probably share the gift card with my mom, who makes the most beautiful quilts. She would probably choose a reproduction fabric like this: https://www.fabric.com/buy/0471972/penny-rose-toy-chest-2-duck-yellow

  2. Lynne Dickens says:

    I would love 100$ to fabric.com- they are one of my favorite sites. I would buy this Cotton + Steel Rifle Paper Co. Les Fleurs Rayon Challis Birch Floral Navy. Although, actually, there are so many to choose from. The dress you made is darling.

  3. Natalie Slaughter says:

    I absolutely love fabric.com. I order at least twice a month from them for my business. I sew my own clothes and also make accessories for my company. So great to see someone enjoy sewing as much as I do! It’s such a lost art and makes my grandmother proud to see me sew and create all because of my first machine she gave me for my birthday 3 years ago! I would love to explore more prints on crepe fabric for my website threadsofafeather.net

    Looks like the link to the dress options (because I don’t sew :() are to the shoes?

  5. Kelly Eastlake Inskeep says:

    I am absolutely loving eyelet fabrics lately. Just purchased white to attempt to make one of your bell sleeve tops for summer. I would definitely buy this black one to make another top or dress: https://www.fabric.com/buy/0439413/telio-thea-eyelet-black?cm_vc=756b1813-cbc1-43b3-84bd-29889bf8fb7b

My favourite find on fabric.com has been the amazing collection of chambrays, with this one being on my wishlist for the longest time: https://www.fabric.com/buy/0344724/kaufman-cotton-chambray-dots-burgundy.

  39. Becca Tupaj says:

    I have never bought from Fabric.com before, but after looking through their fabrics, I could see myself getting so many prints from them! I love their Telio Stretch Bamboo Rayon Jersey Knit Fabric. It comes in so many colors that it makes it hard to choose, but I’m leaning toward violet, light brown, or mariner stripe….yup can’t decide between those three.

  65. Elena Jones says:

    Hi, do you cut the yoke from the paper pattern or the fabric pattern? If it’s the fabric itself, I’m thinking that in order to attach the ruffles you would need to add some seam allowance to the joke and rest of the dress, right?
    And, do you measure your ruffle according to the measurement of the yokes?
    Just curious.

    Thanks, Elena

    I have been eyeing the Rifle Paper Co. fabric for the longest time and I absolutely LOVE what you did with one of them (it is probably my favorite dress you’ve ever made). I would LOVE either:

    How do you make the ruffles?

    • merrickwhite says:

      Instructions are in the illustrated tutorial above!

      • Stephanie Landon says:

        Are the ruffles cut from circles? What is the diameter of the circle and how wide is the finished ruffle? I love the dress, just trying to figure out how to make it!

      • merrickwhite says:

        Step three shows the shape to cut. Mine were 4 inches wide.

    I really love the small pattern on this fabric: https://www.fabric.com/buy/0472403/art-gallery-blithe-jersey-knit-bows-in-silence. I love summer clothing and I think I would make a summer dress to stay cool! [email protected]

    Hey there! Love This dress and atempting to make it but im so confused! Lol in step thRee, what do you mean wheN you wrote,”cut the front ruffle pieces together at the center (not illustrated) to create the half circle.”?
    I apprecite Any help 🙂 its probably so obvious and im just not seeing it!

    • Merrick says:

      ACK I went back through and re-read it so many times to figure it out. I had the wrong word in there — it’s supposed to be “Sew.” Not “Cut.” I’m so sorry! The post is now update! xx
