Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

This dress is a simple pull up off the shoulder style. It has puff sleeves and a shaped waistline. It fastens with 2 buttons on the back by the shoulder straps. There is a frill running around the bottom of the dress, with quite an advanced lace pattern. This is repeated on the frill of the neckline. There is a quick and simple to make flower as a hair decoration sewn to a clip, a pair of slippers and panties complete the outfit. This pattern is my own design
