Main Fabric – The exterior of the dress can be made from nearly any medium-weight woven fabric. If you use a fabric that is stiffer, it will give the dress more structure.
OPTIONAL Lining Fabric – If you are lining the inside of the bodice, you will need a light to medium-weight woven fabric. If your main fabric is not too thick, you could also use this for the lining.
OPTIONAL Skirt Overlay Fabric – The overlay sits over the main skirt and should be sheer.

What a fun kids’ woven dress! The length is absolutely perfect…short enough to not drag on the floor, and long enough for girls to play in without accidentally showing something unintended. The overlay, waistband, and belt options add that extra something that every girl wants! This one will be my daughter’s Easter Dress this year!
Victoria Fenner –
What a beautiful pattern. Some tricky elements (hidden zip and binding) however it came together in the end. Plus pockets!!!
Aimee Lim –
“I like the invisible zip installation, it gives the dress a very nice and polished finish.
The waistband and bow elevate the look for special occasions!”

A nice summer dress for all those beautiful woven fabrics! I used a thinner cotton fabric and that made it a lovely summer dress. The bodice is beautifully finished and the instructions are very clear. also for the invisible zipper.

An easy and fun sew. I love that you don’t need a serger/overlocker for a beautiful finish. Also love the details: cap sleeve, bow, belt, neckline…
Lore Hill –
Dress is absolutely adorable but I feel the sizing is a little off. She fit in the size 8 but I made the 9/10 based off of the comments made in a group. The sleeveless version is still too tight under the arms. The bodice also has very little wiggle room.
Mariza Seymour –
The pattern was easy to follow. Step-by-step instructions on installing an invisible zipper (only me second one ever) and the dress came together nicely. My little one is excited to wear her dress as her special birthday dress this week! I will definitely make more of these.
