I made this dress for my three-year-old with a modified version of this simple Burda pattern. I made the front in two pieces to get the geometric effect and I made the back with six buttons instead of a zipper. I cut out the pattern pieces and then didn’t read any of the directions as the delicate Liberty of London Tana Lawn fabric had to be lined and thus the whole dress had to be put together differently. I took my time making this dress — measured correctly, fixed mistakes, pressed seams, etc. (which is unusual for me), but I think it worked out pretty well. Now on to the dress for the picky child who wants rows and rows of ruffles.
That dress is so sweet ! Just classic and beautiful.
I really like the pleats at the bottom of your dress. If you need ruffle inspirtion there was a bunch of rulffly versions in a year or so ago ottobre issue. Sorry, I don’t remember which one. You can see the slideshows of contents on the sewzanne’s site. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Beautiful! I hope she adores it. 🙂
gorgeous, and just in time for spring!
I love the way you split the front to emphasize the pattern – Great Job!
