An adorable sleeveless dress, pretty lace bolero jacket and knitted hat create this delightful and very girlie outfit, by Little Miss Muffett. The sleeveless dress has a lined bodice, trimmed with eyelet lace and ribbon, atop a full gathered 4-tier skirt. The skirt has frayed hem edges and lace trim on the bottom layer to give the dress a soft look. The top tier is gathered on the left and adorned with a bow. The dress closes with hook and loop tape in back.
The very easy long-sleeved bolero jacket is constructed with a Center Back seam, two side seams and a facing for a neat finish. The Jacket front is decorated with ribbon roses or buttons and embroidery stitches if desired.
Bonus Pattern: The very easy knitted Rolled Brim Hat has ribbon threaded just above the brim and is decorated to match that of the jacket.
