My little girl wants to wear princess dresses everyday….all day. Store bought costumes never hold up, are itchy, a pain to wash and to top it off expensive. It was such a fight to get her to change out of her play dresses to run an errand; so I created a soft, comfortable, wearable princess dress she can wear everyday! These are great dresses for vacations, dress up, gifts, Halloween, just wearing to the park or going to a ball!

This pattern comes in size 6 months- 8 years. It is a peasant style dress that your daughter will be able to get on and off by herself, with elastic neck and sleeves. The front and back bodice and sleeves are all shaped for a great fit. Front bodice includes sash detail with an attached apron on the skirt. The skirt is a perfect canvas for appliques, patches or pockets! Get creative! The sash ties are perfect for slender girls and for growth.
