I’ve made 4 full size dresses, I’m about to make a practice one for a rag doll I’ve made so that I can make another matching one to go with the dress I made for my friends little girl- I altered it to have a front and a back and cut it out larger to try and embroider on it, forgot so had to make another one, now she has one to grow into, so the dress for the doll will last too! I added sequins to the necklin and around the bottom. I absolutly love the pattern and if you make it longer in fancier material it can be a bridesmaid dress too. Have worked out how to add a net layer on it. Thank you for posting it :)

Thank you! I followed your tutorial and created a dress for my little one last night – your instructions are clear and the dress is beautiful! I love the bodice lining, and the fact that no seams are exposed so it is soft against the body. I would just add a small step of clipping the curves after stitching the neckline and the armholes. Thank you!!

Hi! The link for the instructions to the tutorial is giving me an error message. Is there any way you can send me the directions or point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Hey Darl – I just worked this out – what you need to do is NOT click the “Get all Instructions (PDF)” thing under neath the photo – you need to click the “Instructions” tab ABOVE the photo! Hope this works for you Honey and the dress is a hit! I’m going to have a crack at it myself!

Congratulations on the best tutorial/instruction download I have seen in a very long time. Your steps are easy-to-read; you press the seams (bless you to pieces!); your final garment looks so professional. She looks quite pleased with her new summer frock. Cordially, Nehmah
