Every little girl needs to feel like the princess she is, and this dress does just that. This pattern has been in my sewing room for a while. I always thought it would be a cute dress for a flower girl dress, but it never happened.
What it did happen for is my granddaughters baptism dress. She had asked me to make her one. Of course, I said I would. She wanted a yellow sash, but other than that, I was free to do what I wanted.
This dress has pleats instead of gathers. In the petticoat that attaches to the dress, there is a total of 656 inches of gathered tulle.
I knew the dress was full, but was not aware of how full, until the photographer spread the dress out. I love it as does she. This dress also has a great twirl factor.
Her little sister has requested the same dress for her baptism, but she wants a pink sash. The pattern for this dress is now out of print, but is Butterick 5705. Can I make a recommendation? When buying a pattern you think you will love, but it in all the size combinations. I am sad that I can't get it in bigger sizes.
Hi , if this is Butterick 5705 I’m desperately looking for the pattern . Would you consider selling or putting on loan at all please ?
