Meet Eleanor — our June 2026 pattern and a very special one at that. Eleanor is a Deer & Doe pattern available as a standalone PDF in the Deer & Doe shop, and it's also this month's Crew sew-along pattern.
Named after two remarkable women — Amy's grandmother, Eleanor, and Éléonore Escalier, the original founder of Deer & Doe — this dress carries a lot of meaning. It also carries a lot of style.
At its heart, Eleanor is a classically darted fitted bodice with a natural waist seam and a gently flared A-line skirt. Designed fabric-first for drapey viscose, rayon challis, and crepe, it's the pattern your floral print stash has been waiting for.
With mix-and-match options across every detail, you can make Eleanor entirely your own:
✂️ Two neckline options: keyhole or high jewel neck
✂️ Two back options: open keyhole back or full-coverage with invisible zipper
✂️ Two sleeve options: gathered puff sleeve or delicate cap sleeve
✂️ Two skirt lengths: mini or midi
Romantic, feminine, and surprisingly versatile — style it up for a wedding or go full 90s ditzy floral with sneakers and socks.
Note: Eleanor is drafted in Deer & Doe sizing. If you're used to Closet Core sizing, be sure to check the Deer & Doe size chart before cutting.
