A gorgeous and versatile little dress, by Little Miss Muffett, made to resemble a skirt, top, and bolero is teamed with an adorable Juliette cap sporting a big flower. The dress, which closes with hook and loop tape in back, has a full gathered skirt consisting of three fabric layers with pinked hem edges and lace underlays to give a very soft look. The fitted, lined bodice has a pretty scoop neckline, a choice of two sleeve lengths and a faux bolero which is sewn into the shoulder and side seams. The bolero fronts are lined, have gathered lace edges and have contrast top-stitching on the front edges. Pretty buttons on either side of the bolero add a decorative touch. This easy PDF pattern is designed to fit 14.5” dolls such as WellieWishers™.

Supplies Needed:
Fabric Used – Quilter’s Cotton was used for the Faux Bolero Fronts and top tier of the skirt, Eyelet Lace was used for the bodice and sleeves and soft lightweight cotton was used for the second and third tiers of the skirt as well as lining for the bodice and bolero fronts. Combinations of Eyelet and Nylon Lace were used as trim on the bolero, sleeves and skirt tiers – this little dress is a great way to use up fabric scraps. The Juliette Cap was made using Cotton Fingering yarn.
