Crochet pattern for a beautiful cotton Easter Dress. Pattern includes link and password to videos.

Story behind the dress:
This dress is named after one of my daughters, Lena. I have 11 children. 7 of them are girls. Special occasions, or those where we need to get dressed up, can be SUPER expensive for such a large family. In 2015, I decided I would MAKE dresses for the younger 4 of my 7 girls for Easter. I was in luck, because they worked again for Easter 2016! These precious little dresses got so many compliments, and my girls felt beautiful.

This pattern comes in the following sizes.

Size 2T…….. chest measurement 19-20” length (shoulder to bottom edge) 22”
