The idea
The pink and taupe collored dear fabric is perfect for a gathered skirt. It is about 40 cm long and 100 cm wide and pretty much a rectangular. I'll combine it with a quilting cotton for the bodice. To spruce it up a bit I will also use some lace.
The pattern
Dress with cap sleeves and an arched seam in the bodice (which I left out). This part of the book has three different bodices and three different skirts to combine at your own insight.
Additional info:
- 3-10yo (EU). I make a 4yo.
- Recommended fabrics: cottons. It does suggest a zipper.

The fabric
- 0,5 meter printed poplin
- ca 0,4 meter quilting cotton for bodice and lining.
- ca 60 cm lace.
Cutting the fabric.
The skirt is a gathered skirt so a rectangular. It is about 1,5 times the waist circumference which makes it not a very full skirt. For a fuller skirt use 2 or 2,5 times the waist circumference.
The bodice is cut twice. Once for the outside and once for the lining.
