This one is for YOU, ladies! It comes in a wide range of sizes, all the way from an XS (0-2) to a 3X (24W-26W). I've had this one on my to-do list for quite some time, but I always end up sewing for the kids instead of myself. But I LOVE it! Isn't the design just gorgeous? I love the cinched waist, thick straps so you don't have to wear a strapless bra, and the full skirt to hide any, ahem, problem areas. Such a timeless look, perfect for a summer picnic or a night out with your girlfriends! Treat yourselves, ladies! Sew something for yourself next time you sit down to your machine, I promise you won't be disappointed with this pattern!
Lily Bird Studio has a lovely collection of patterns that include several exquisite dresses, including the Amanda Dress. This is such a beautiful pattern that you'll use it over and over again. The wide sash adds a stylish contrast and gives the dress a great shape. The back of the sash has a button closure, which is perfect for those little girls who don't like having a bow. This would be a great design to add some embroidery or applique to. The Amanda Dress is available in sizes 12 m- 10 years.
Doesn't this dress just scream "SUMMER!"?? I thought so, too. This is a super cute jumper with three tiers of ruffles along the bottom. Who doesn't love ruffles? (I promise if you use a ruffler foot, you'll love them, too! It will change your life!) Fun and carefree, this is a great dress for playtime and fun summer outings! The Hayden Dress is available in sizes 6/12 m- 6 years.
Looking for the cutest romper ever made? This might be it, lol! To me, nothing is more adorable than a little girl in a sun suit. My daughter will be living in them this summer. I love the vintage style, I love the ruffle around the bodice, I love the monogram, I love the bubble bottom... I could go on, but I'll stop here :) The pattern is available in sizes 6 m- 8 years. You know you can't pass this one up!
8. The Lulu Dress by Juvie Moon
The Lulu Dress is a great go-to peasant dress pattern if you are looking for a design without all the fuss but still fun and girly. The pattern comes in sizes 3/6 m- 12 years. Everyone needs a good, basic peasant dress pattern in their collection! You can shorten the length to create a peasant top or use the pattern to create a dress to be worn under other dresses (like maybe a jumper of some kind). These dresses also look really great with an applique, flower, or bow attached. Very fast and easy to sew up!
Y'all, I already have baby fever, and this sweet picture isn't helping. Luckily, this precious little hat can be made in any size :) This pattern makes a great photo prop or can be paired with a wide number of your hand-made creations. You'll be sure to have strangers stop you to ask where you got that pretty little hat. LilyGiggle patterns often give you instructions on how to make these items using recycled t-shirts, so go dig through your closet and sew a few up!
Holy. Moly. Is that not beautiful?!? This is girly-girl at its best! I love the open back with all my heart. Those ruffles and that cute bow in the back are amazing. I've nick-named it the "mullet dress" (in the most flattering way possible) because it's business in the front and party in the back! Younger girls can pair this with a pair of bloomers, while the older girls can wear some tights or a pair of ruffle pants underneath. Fits girls sizes 18 m- 6 years.
The Emory Dress is such a wonderful pattern. I know my daughter gets lots of compliments whenever she wears her Emory Dress. I love the contrasting yoke and the fact that it is long-sleeved! I'm always on the look-out for a great long-sleeved pattern. Depending on the fabrics and optional trims you can use, this pattern can prove to be quite versatile. I love the idea of a monogram on the bodice. This is available in sizes 12/18 m- 6 years. One of our sweet customers wrote up a review on this pattern not long ago. If you haven't read it yet, here is the link!
If you are looking for a fast, easy, and totally adorable long-sleeved peasant dress, this one is for you! I love the bell sleeves and the optional bow is the icing on top! You can shorten the length and wear it as a top or shorten the sleeves and make them 3/4 length (a great option for babies so the extra fabric doesn't swallow them). Just like I mentioned with the Lulu dress above, peasant dresses are great for adding trims, ribbons, or appliques. Pick the right fabric, and this clean design will look great without having to add any frills :) Everyone needs a long-sleeved peasant dress pattern for when you're looking for a quick, easy, and oh-so-cute project! This pattern comes in sizes NB-12 years.
This is another great pattern you NEED for your collection! (I warned you there was going to be a lot of cuteness!) This is a wonderful little sun dress that sort of mimics a pillowcase dress, but has a rounded neckline without elastic or a ribbon casing. The Pink Dress can be worn year round by layering with a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of leggings. This dress will fit girls sizes 12 m- 8 years.
All together now...AWWWW!!! I love Whimsy Couture's Pillowcase Romper! This is a great pattern with LOTS of variations included in the tutorial. You can also make this capri length or as short-alls. Available in sizes Preemie- 10 years, this is the perfect pattern for all the little girls in your life! I wrote up a review of this romper on the blog. If you missed it, you can read all about it here.
And now, drum roll please.....
The best-selling pattern of 2012 is
Girls, isn't she a beauty?? What an awesome pattern!! Such a great way to showcase several different fabrics at the same time for a fun, playful look. Its got bows, ruffles, and a sash... all the qualities I love in a pretty dress :) And there are 5 variations included in the tutorial, so make a few and they'll all be a little different! This pattern is available in sizes 18 m-10 years. Just absolutely gorgeous!!
