The Fairytale Handkerchief Hem Dress Pattern - Girls 1 to 5 years + 6/6X, 7/8 bonus

With two layers of full, rustly skirts, lace-up bodice and 'reverse knot' back, your little one will feel like a true princess in the Fairytale Dress!
Versatile - a strappy summer dress, a gorgeous jumper over a top, a dramatic holiday dress, a base for a storybook character or princess costume - try a tulle or sparkle net layer! Layer over bloomers or leggings or wear it on its own. The reverse knot back allows for growing room.

Materials list:

This is enough of each fabric to make a skirt and either the bodices or ties, see the cutting layouts. Net or tulle can be used for one of the layers, it must be at least 42” wide.

• (Optional if you choose not to use buttonholes: 6 grommets (8 for size 7/8 Top) and a grommet-setting tool; additional 2.5” x 9” piece of fabric for back loops)
• Regular 8.5” x 11 printer paper (or A4) and a printer for printing the patterns

Recommended sewing experience: advanced beginner due to buttonholes. Buttonholing makes the nicest finish, though I do include complete instructions for creating the dress with no buttonholes.
