Baby Ruffled Overall Dress

The style of this dress is taken from the denim overall dress that is a basic part of every baby girl’s wardrobe. The ruffles on the back of the skirt really up the cuteness factor! The pattern is worked with simple stitches, but in many directions. Starting from the top front, you will work your way down, then create the waistband and the skirt, finishing with the top back and the straps, and finally adding the ruffles. It is a good pattern for an advanced beginner, someone who wants a more complicated design without having to remember a confusing stitch pattern.
