An adorable, 'girlie-girl' dress with a waistline sash which ties at the back in a pretty bow, by Little Miss Muffett. Made from Quilter’s Cotton, the dress has a wide round-neck; a lined, fitted-to-the-waist bodice; and the option of puffy or lace flutter sleeves. The short-sleeve hem edges are pinked and finished with a little bow. The 8-gore over-skirt, also in cotton, has a pinked scalloped hem edge. Lace Anglais was used for the gathered underskirt which is edged with nylon lace trim; it has a gathered Tulle petticoat which flares the skirt and tiny bows are sewn to the underskirt between the scallops. The dress closes with hook and loop tape in back. As a variation of the dress, use pretty coordinating or ‘mix and match’ fabrics to create a gorgeous ‘peasant skirt’ with a waistband sash. This easy PDF pattern is designed to fit 18” soft-bodied dolls such as American Girl®.
