Introducing Mae: Your New Favorite Summer Set
I’m so excited to introduce Mae, the newest shorts set addition to the Vintage Little Lady collection!
Mae was designed with versatility & comfort in mind. Whether you’re sewing for yourself, your daughter, or a friend, Mae is a pattern you’ll find yourself using all summer long.

A Pattern for Every Age
One of my favorite things about Mae is that it comes in women’s, tween, and girls sizing, making it easy to create coordinating outfits for the special ladies in your life. Matching sets have always been a favorite in our family, and I wanted to design a pattern that felt stylish and wearable for every age. In fact, Mae was named after my oldest daughter, whose middle name is Mae. She loves top-and-shorts sets, so it felt like the perfect name for this pattern.
Designed for Endless Customization
Mae includes several options & features that allow you to create different looks:
- Sleeveless
- Balloon sleeves
- Keyhole closure (no buttons or zippers!)
- Simple ruffle (shorts & top)
- Exposed ruffle (shorts & top)
- Subtly curved hemline
With its relaxed fit, you can wear Mae for just about any occasion!
Perfect for Summer
Lightweight fabrics, comfortable fits, and easy-to-wear separates make Mae ideal for warm-weather wardrobes. From beach vacations to poolside afternoons, Mae is designed to keep you cool while looking effortlessly put together.
I’ve loved seeing how different fabrics completely transform the look of this pattern. Soft gauze, Swiss dot, linen blends, and cotton lawn all work beautifully and give Mae a different personality every time.

Made for Matching
There is something special about a mama and me moment. Mae was designed to make creating coordinating sets easy while still allowing everyone to express their own style.
Mix fabrics, choose different sleeve options, or play with contrasting ruffle details to create sets that coordinate beautifully while still feeling individual.
