If you like personalizing what you wear for spring gatherings, these DIY Easter Sunday Outfits offer friendly, down-to-earth ways to freshen your closet. They work for church services, backyard brunches, or family photos and are aimed at anyone who enjoys sewing a little, adding ribbon, or reworking a favorite piece.
Each suggestion focuses on fabrics, color mixes, and small handmade accents—think pastel trims, embroidered pockets, or a hand-tied sash—to make looks feel curated without overhauling a wardrobe.
Pick one or two elements to customize and build from a neutral base for easy coordination.
Pastel Linen Dress with Cardigan
A lightweight linen dress in a soft pastel shade makes a lovely base for spring. Choose breathable linen or a linen-cotton blend in blush, mint, or pale yellow; the slightly textured fabric keeps the look relaxed yet polished. Top with a cropped knit cardigan in cream or light grey to add warmth for cooler mornings. Small DIY touches like a ribbon belt, hand-stitched hem, or tiny fabric-covered buttons personalize the dress and keep the silhouette gentle and flattering for many body shapes.
How to Style This Look
- Add a narrow ribbon belt to define the waist without bulk
- Wear low block heels or leather sandals in neutral tones
- Finish with delicate gold jewelry and a woven clutch
Seersucker Blazer and White Chinos
A lightweight seersucker blazer paired with white chinos creates a crisp spring look with subtle texture. Choose a blazer in pale blue or mint with narrow stripes to keep the outfit light. White or off-white cotton chinos provide a clean contrast; a tapered or straight-leg cut balances the blazer’s structure. A small DIY touch—sewn ribbon along the blazer’s pocket or a hand-embroidered initial inside the cuff—gives a bespoke feel without changing the silhouette. This combo works for daytime services or casual meetings.
How to Style This Look
- Roll the chino cuffs slightly to show ankle and a casual shoe
- Pair with loafers or low-heeled sandals in tan leather
- Add a lightweight cotton square or printed scarf for color
Floral Midi Skirt with Tee
A floral midi skirt feels seasonally right and pairs well with a crisp cotton tee for an approachable spring outfit. Opt for a skirt in cotton or viscose with a small-to-medium floral print in pastels; pair it with a slightly fitted white or cream tee to balance the volume. Add a narrow belt—braided or leather—to bring the waist into focus. Decorative stitching along the hem or a hand-placed fabric patch can make the skirt uniquely yours. This look adapts well for petite and taller frames when the skirt length is tailored.
How to Style This Look
- Tuck the tee into the skirt for a defined waist
- Choose strappy sandals or espadrille wedges for springtime lift
- Layer with a lightweight denim jacket if needed
Embroidered Chambray Shirt Dress
A chambray shirt dress is a versatile base for adding handcrafted detail. Pick a midweight chambray in light blue and add small embroidered motifs along the collar, cuffs, or pocket—simple florals or eggs in pastel thread fit the Easter mood. The shirt-dress silhouette flatters many figures; a self-tie belt or leather sash can adjust the waist. Cotton chambray breathes well and wears nicely into warm afternoons. Keep footwear casual with low block heels or polished flats to maintain the balance between handmade detail and neat structure.
How to Style This Look
- Tie the belt in front for an hourglass shape
- Roll the sleeves to three-quarter length for a relaxed vibe
- Add pearl studs or small hoops for classic jewelry
Cable Knit Sweater and Midi
A fine cable knit sweater in cream or pale peach layered over a flowing midi skirt gives a cozy yet fresh spring look. Choose a lightweight wool blend or cotton-cashmere for softness without bulk. The contrast between the sweater’s texture and a silky or lightweight cotton skirt adds visual interest. A DIY touch like a crocheted collar or trimmed cuffs can personalize the sweater. This pairing suits cooler Easter mornings and transitions well when the skirt is ankle-length for taller silhouettes or calf-length for shorter ones.
How to Style This Look
- Tuck the front of the sweater slightly into the skirt for shape
- Pair with ankle boots or closed-toe flats in neutral leather
- Add a slim leather crossbody bag to balance proportions
Polka Dot Wrap Dress and Flats
A lightweight wrap dress with a modest v-neck and a small polka dot print reads both playful and polished. Choose viscose or rayon for fluid movement and a tie that secures the wrap without bulk. Small dot patterns in navy on ivory or soft rose on cream work well for family photos. Pair with ballet flats or low mules to keep the silhouette grounded. For a handcrafted touch, stitch a contrasting thread along the hem or add a narrow lace trim to the sleeves to personalize the garment subtly.
How to Style This Look
- Fasten the wrap snugly and tie the sash slightly off-center
- Wear simple pearl or enamel stud earrings for a vintage feel
- Carry a small structured handbag in a complementary color
Lightweight Trench with Maxi Dress
A trench in a light cotton-gabardine paired with a printed maxi dress offers a refined layered look for spring. Choose a trench in stone or blush and a maxi with small florals or soft geometrics. The trench adds structure and polish while the maxi keeps the outfit feminine. Hem length and trench fit can be adjusted for taller or shorter frames; a half-belted trench looks flattering on many shapes. Small DIY patches inside the trench collar or a ribbon loop on the dress pocket add charm without changing the outer silhouette.
How to Style This Look
- Leave the trench unbelted with the dress peeking through for movement
- Select low heeled sandals or ankle boots depending on weather
- Add a woven tote or leather satchel for practicality
Lace Top with High-Waist Jeans
Pairing a delicate lace blouse with high-waist jeans blends dressy and casual for a balanced Easter look. Choose a lace top with a subtle lining in cream or blush and denim in a medium wash with a straight or slightly tapered leg. The high waist creates a flattering line and helps the blouse sit neatly when half-tucked. Add a handmade brooch or stitched ribbon at the collar to personalize the blouse. This pairing works well for informal gatherings where a hint of elegance is preferred without full formal wear.
How to Style This Look
- Half-tuck the blouse at the front to show the waistband
- Wear heeled sandals or polished loafers to elevate the denim
- Choose a small shoulder bag and minimal jewelry for balance
Pleated Skirt and Cropped Sweater
A satin or lightweight polyester pleated skirt paired with a cropped sweater creates a modern silhouette that still reads spring-appropriate. Choose the skirt in a soft pastel or champagne tone for subtle sheen; pair it with a slightly boxy, cropped knit in a neutral or coordinating color. The contrast between fluid pleats and a structured knit is flattering on many body types. Add a sewn-on ribbon at the hem or a small appliqué near the pocket to personalize. This look transitions smoothly from morning services to afternoon family time.
How to Style This Look
- Wear the sweater to just above the waistband to keep proportions balanced
- Choose closed mules or block-heel sandals for stability
- Add a slim belt if extra waist definition is desired
Gingham Playsuit with Sandals
A gingham playsuit in cotton or cotton-linen blend feels playful and practical for warm spring days. Choose a modest neckline and a tailored waist—elastic or internal tie—for comfort; short or mid-length sleeves keep it church-appropriate depending on personal preference. Small sewn pockets or a contrast piped hem bring a handcrafted vibe. Pair with leather sandals or espadrilles and a sunhat for outdoor egg hunts. The one-piece nature simplifies dressing and can flatter many figures when proportions are adjusted at the waist.
How to Style This Look
- Add a woven belt to accentuate the waist if needed
- Pick flat sandals or platform espadrilles for comfort and lift
- Carry a medium tote for essentials and a light sweater
Cotton Suit with Braided Belt
A soft cotton suit in a muted pastel—sage, powder blue, or warm beige—offers a tailored option without heaviness. Choose a single-breasted blazer with a relaxed shoulder and straight trousers cropped at the ankle. Replace the suit’s belt with a braided leather or fabric belt to soften the look and add texture. A hand-stitched lining detail or a stitched pocket square pocket brings a personal touch. This suit works well for those who prefer a clean, structured silhouette that still reads spring-friendly and approachable for family gatherings.
How to Style This Look
- Cuff the trousers slightly for a contemporary edge
- Pair with low block heels or polished loafers
- Add a silk scarf tied to the bag handle for color
Satin Slip Dress and Shawl
A satin slip dress in ivory or soft blush creates an elegant base that can be softened with a knitted shawl or lightweight wrap. Choose a bias-cut slip in satin-back crepe or silk-look polyester for graceful drape. A hand-embroidered hem or a narrow lace insertion adds a personal touch that reads subtle and refined. The shawl can be a crocheted piece in a coordinating pastel to bring texture and warmth for cooler mornings. This combination suits intimate gatherings and photo moments where a touch of polish is desired.
How to Style This Look
- Drape the shawl loosely over the shoulders for softness
- Wear strappy low heels or elegant flats depending on terrain
- Keep jewelry minimal—thin chain and small studs work well
Crochet Top with Wide-Leg Pants
A delicate crochet top layered over a fitted camisole paired with high-waist wide-leg pants gives a modern bohemian touch. Choose cotton crochet in cream or soft pastel and pair with linen-blend trousers in natural tones. The contrast between openwork texture and the smooth drape of the pants creates depth. A small sewn-on motif or colored thread along the crochet edge personalizes the piece. This silhouette elongates the legs and suits many body types when the pants are high-waisted and the top hits just at the waistband.
How to Style This Look
- Wear a matching camisole under the crochet for modesty
- Pair with wedge espadrilles or platform sandals for height
- Add a straw bag to lean into the springtime vibe
Pastel Knit Set with Sneakers
A matching knit top and skirt set in pastel hues creates a coordinated look that feels thoughtfully assembled. Choose a ribbed cotton or fine knit blend for breathability and stretch; a midi skirt with a fitted knit top keeps proportions elegant. Swap heels for clean white leather sneakers to ground the ensemble and add a youthful feel. Add small handmade details such as embroidered initials at the cuff or a tiny crochet flower pinned near the neckline. This set works well for active family days where comfort and a pulled-together appearance are both important.
How to Style This Look
- Keep accessories minimal to let the match speak for itself
- Use a belt bag or small crossbody to remain hands-free
- Layer a light trench if morning air is cool
Breton Tee with Tailored Shorts
A classic Breton striped tee paired with tailored high-waist shorts in a lightweight wool or cotton blend gives a crisp spring ensemble. Choose navy-and-cream stripes and shorts in a coordinating neutral like khaki or navy. Small embroidered initials at the hem or a sewn-in ribbon tab at the pocket creates a personal detail. This outfit works well for casual church gatherings or lunch dates and flatters many figures when the shorts are mid-thigh to knee length; longer lengths suit those preferring more coverage.
How to Style This Look
- Tuck the tee into the shorts for a clean waistline
- Wear leather sandals or crisp white sneakers depending on the mood
- Add a structured tote and a simple wristwatch
Ruffled Blouse and Culottes
A soft ruffled blouse in cotton lawn or silk-cotton blend paired with culottes creates a romantic yet modern silhouette. Choose blouse ruffles that are modest—around the collar or cuffs—and culottes in a complementary solid pastel or neutral. The wide-leg culotte balances the blouse’s detail and provides comfort for sitting during services or meals. Add a sewn-on lace trim or tiny embroidered flowers near the hem to personalize the blouse. This pairing is flattering when the culotte length hits mid-calf and the blouse is slightly fitted at the waist.
How to Style This Look
- Tuck the blouse into the culottes and add a slim belt if desired
- Choose block heels or heeled sandals for elongation
- Carry a small clutch or foldover bag to keep proportions neat
Denim Jacket over Floral Dress
A fitted denim jacket layered over a lightweight floral dress offers a casual, layered look that still feels intentional. Choose a dress in viscose or cotton with a small floral print; the jacket in a mid to light wash complements pastels. Add a handcrafted pin on the jacket lapel or a stitched hem detail on the dress for personalization. The denim provides structure while the dress keeps the look soft. This combination works well across body types—swap dress length and jacket fit to suit proportions—making it a flexible choice for varied gatherings.
How to Style This Look
- Button the jacket at the waist for a defined shape or leave open for flow
- Pair with ankle boots or sandals depending on weather
- Add a thin scarf tied to the bag for a touch of pattern
Pastel Wrap Top with Trousers
A soft wrap top in a pastel shade tucked into tapered trousers provides a flattering, adjustable silhouette. Choose a wrap top in modal or soft jersey for gentle stretch and pair with lightweight wool or cotton trousers in a neutral tone. A stitched ribbon at the wrap edge or a hand-embroidered motif near the cuff personalizes the top. The wrap flatters various bust sizes and allows for waist adjustment; pair with mid-heel sandals or loafers for balance. This ensemble reads polished yet comfortable for springtime gatherings and photos.
How to Style This Look
- Tuck the wrap neatly and secure the tie to avoid gaping
- Wear pointed flats or low heels to lengthen the leg line
- Add a thin chain necklace to highlight the neckline
Linen Jumpsuit with Espadrilles
A tailored linen jumpsuit in a sand or dove grey shade offers a simple, refined base for spring styling. Choose breathable linen with a defined waist—either sewn-in or belted—to keep proportions flattering. Add small sewn loops for a hand-tied sash or replace standard buttons with fabric-covered ones for a custom touch. Espadrille wedges or flat espadrilles pair well, and a woven belt or basket bag completes the look. The one-piece approach simplifies dressing while remaining comfortable for moving between services and outdoor activities.
How to Style This Look
- Use a woven belt to add texture and define the waist
- Choose espadrilles for a seasonal, grounded feel
- Add a lightweight scarf tied at the handle of a basket bag
Seamed Coat with Pleated Dress
A lightweight seamed coat in a neutral tone layered over a pleated dress combines structure and movement. Pick a coat in cotton-twill or light gabardine with clean seam details and a pleated dress in a soft, slightly shiny fabric for contrast. Adding a small stitched badge inside the coat or a contrast thread along a seam gives a handmade accent. This pairing offers a slightly formal look that remains comfortable; choose coat length to complement dress length so the pleats peek below the hem for graceful movement.
How to Style This Look
- Wear the coat open to reveal pleat movement underneath
- Select closed-toe pumps or elegant flats depending on preference
- Add simple dangling earrings to frame the face
Satin Blouse and Pencil Skirt
A satin-blend blouse tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt gives a polished, slightly vintage-inspired look. Choose blush or ivory satin with a light sheen and a skirt in stretch cotton or ponte for ease of movement. Add a sewn-in ribbon loop at the collar or a hand-stitched hem detail to personalize the blouse subtly. This combination flatters hourglass and rectangular shapes when the skirt hits just below the knee. Pair with low pumps and a compact clutch for an elegant daytime appearance suitable for more formal family events.
How to Style This Look
- Tuck the blouse smoothly and add a thin belt for definition
- Wear mid-heel pumps or sleek flats for a refined finish
- Keep jewelry minimal—thin bangles or a slim pendant work well
