Flutterby Dress
 |
| Burda Kids 9494 |
This week’s Pattern of the Week features this charming
little babydoll dress for girls. Isn’t it just adorable? We think so!
We like the optional ribbon-tie waist belt, scoop neckline,
and you can choose your own type of closure; zipper, button, hook and eye
fasteners, it’s up to you! The pattern can be used to make dresses of
various lengths or alternatively to make a top. We chose to make the girl’s
dress in a butterfly print with a matching ribbon-tie waist belt in turquoise
and blue.
