Cult Classics: Rachel Comey

APRIL 2026

Five women modeling various stylish dresses against a neutral background.

Discover the Rachel Comey designs from the Vogue Patterns collection. Known for graceful modern silhouettes, no other independent brand has come to define the aesthetic of the creative dresser like Rachel Comey.

With eye-catching style lines and clever construction, these patterns are interesting to sew and wear.

Gorgeous designs with hidden closures, clean construction and longer lines - these styles are timeless and polished. We love the pleated bodice detail of V2176 and the hidden placket of V1859. Make in linen or cotton and works in both printed and solid colors for a bold statement.

Modern Cuts

If you're looking to stand out in an interesting way but not sacrifice practicality for looking cool, pick a Rachel Comey pattern. We recommend the soft jumpsuit with wrap effect leg (V1645) or her button-front utility pant cinched with a partial belt in the back and coordinating top (V2186).

Striking Jumpsuits

Like we've just shown, Rachel Comey makes a cool jumpsuit that feels wearable whether dressed up or down. V2035 mixes a heavyweight denim or twill bodice with a lighter cotton or chambray on the pants for the illusion of a two-piece set. V1994 is Comey's take on a boiler suit with cool seaming and options for bold topstitching.

The Shirtdress Reinvented

There's a reason V1777 has been a bestselling design since it's launch - the polish of a shirtdress with breezy silhouette, playful pleats and easy wrap front instead of button closure. For a rewarding but advanced project try V2024 with asymmetric front, dropped waist, dramatic back skirt pleats, adjustable ties and concealed buttoned tab at the waist. Take a closer look at the line art!

The New LBD

The classic "Little Black Dress" is a wardrobe staple for many women but Rachel Comey elevates with new silhouettes that make the LBD a statement piece. Add cool cutouts (V1951) or eye-catching drape details (V1967) and you won't feel drab in black. But with style lines like these, we'd love to see you make these designs in every color and print.

Turn Up The Volume

Playing with volume is another strength of Comey - taking billowy shapes and making them feel wearable and fresh. The gathered panels at the sides of V1799 made in medium weight denim create a fun flared shape. V1821 mixes a short and sweet hem length with frayed detailing, swingy shape and cool corduroy finish.

Luxe Loungewear

Who said loungewear has to be frumpy? V2163 is a gathered jumpsuit made in cottons with subtle keyhole and zip front, and fold-back flanged sleeves. For a versatile two-piece set, try the V1912. The top features a funnel neckline, long sleeves pleated into cuffs, and shaped hemline. The shorts have an eye-catching pocket combination that's worth a closer look.
