Description
THE DRESS
An effortless transseasonal dress featuring double pleats on the bodice, grown-on sleeves and a panelled A-line skirt. Variations include both bateau and V-neck options that are super quick and simple to make.
Multi-sized sewing pattern from 2T to 13 years (Height 18 months - 158cm)
Fabric Recommendation:
Lightweight woven fabrics with a bit of body are ideal, such as viscose rayon, floaty silks and wool crepe. However, stable fabrics will work beautifully too such as quilting cotton, lawn, batiste, shirting, voile, linen and broderie Anglaise.
