Three favorite party frocks all bundled together in one pattern!
Garden Party is a versatile dress pattern that is perfect for all eras! This PDF pattern includes three neckline/collar variations, 2 skirts, and three sleeve styles that make the possible variations for this dress endless. All views have a drop-waist and a slightly "bloused" bodice, inset with a waistband/sash. View A has dainty pin-tucking, long sleeves and a ruffle at the neck. The fullness is gathered into a waistband/sash with a fabric bow at the hip. Two options are included for front embellishment. View B has an embroidered lace-edge round collar, short puff sleeves gathered with elastic, and a double ruffled skirt. View C has a traditional sailor collar embellished with lace and anchored with a ribbon. It has puff sleeves gathered into a band and a skirt edged with lace.
