Trying to make a Dress for Dolce
 

Ok, so I want to sew a dress for my baby as a birthday present to her lol. I can never find her clothes that fit her perfectly so I want to start making her clothes myself and of course I decide I wanna start with something difficult lol. I haven't sewn anything projectwise in probably 10 years so I'm pretty rusty haha but I am determined. My problem is, I've been trying to google somewhere I can buy a basic dress pattern for a bodice and a skirt that I can work from as a starting point. The only thing is, the stuff I have found through google is not the kind of "dresses" Im looking for. I guess I'm being picky haha. Does anyone here on YT sell patterns or know where I can find a pattern? The kind of dress I want to make is like a "flouncy party/sundress" I have light baby blue material with white embroidered flowers and a slightly dark blue mesh/toule for under the skirt. I also have a lace trim I am going to put on the bottom of the skirt and I want it to have thick straps with faux big white buttons on the back as well as a thick white sash and bow on the back. Let me know if you can picture in your head what I'm describing here lol. Anyway, any help would be appreciated thanks!

I'm not sure if Lila is a member or not, but I have purchased a couple of her patterns and they "work". They are easy to make adjustments and the directions are easy to follow. Home

You might also try Simplicity patterns - they have several that are specially designed for little bittys

thanks! the first link you gave me was almost exactly what I'm looking for! You're awesome!

Shipping is speedy quick - so I'm going to expect to see pics of your new creations in the very near future!

oh you know it! I will be posting them them moment I get this dress on her haha

How fun! Be sure to share pix! I'd love to see what you create! I would love to try and sew things, but am a bit intimidated. :)

I found a doll dress pattern that worked well for Gracie, with easy adjustments for the length. The girth was just right for her. She weighs abt 4 lbs.

Hmmm doll dress pattern sounds like a great idea. I have a ton of those in various sizes from the daughters being little. Wonder if I could use some of the other patterns like bassinett,diaper bag and carrier? Hmmmm

That is a really great idea as well! Thanks for the tip! There's probably all kinds of cute doll clothes patterns! hmmm....now I'm getting some more ideas for projects....hehe:D:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
