The Design Story of the Jacqueline Dress + Blouse

Jacqueline is easy romance, tied with a bow, and it’s our annual holiday release for 2026! Easy to customize with pretty notions and easy to wear as a dress or a blouse, this soft raglan-sleeved pattern works in a variety of fabrics and is available right now as a standalone pattern in the Deer&Doe shop or as part of our monthly Crew membership. Jacqueline is a pattern that plays with volume and how it is expressed and released. The neckline is gathered into a curved band, with two keyhole openings along the front raglan seams finished with your choice of fabric ties, ribbon, or cord. Bishop sleeves extend from the raglan seams and gather into an elastic finish at the wrist. The dress draws in its fullness with applied bands, while the blouse falls free and loose. Either way, the ties at the front openings keep the round neckline adjustable, so you can snug it up close or leave it relaxed.
