A gorgeous and versatile little dress, by Little Miss Muffett, made to resemble a skirt, top, and bolero is teamed with an adorable Juliette cap sporting a big flower. The dress, which closes with hook and loop tape in back, has a full gathered skirt consisting of three fabric layers with pinked hem edges and lace underlays to give a very soft look. The fitted, lined bodice has a pretty scoop neckline, a choice of two sleeve lengths and a faux bolero which is sewn into the shoulder and side seams. The bolero fronts are lined, have gathered lace edges and have contrast top-stitching on the front edges. Pretty buttons on either side of the bolero add a decorative touch.

Combinations of Eyelet and Nylon Lace were used as trim on the bolero, sleeves and skirt tiers – this little dress is a great way to use up fabric scraps.
