A beautiful fluffy dress will be perfectlook great on a girl. Especially if you choose the right fabric and subsequent decorative materials. We recommend taking a soft coral fabric for sewing. The beautiful style of the outfit and beautiful fabric will create a favorable impression. The dress "Winter Rose" is based on the model "Polished Platinum Dress" from the brand "Anthropologie". By downloading the illustrations below, you can download the pattern of the dress bodice, as well as the sleeves. The pattern corresponds to the fifth American size (5 years old child). The skirt of the outfit is presented as an ordinary rectangular piece of material, in which there is no pattern, since the final result depends on your preferences for length and splendor.To make a dress in other sizes, youyou will only need to slightly increase the basic pattern of the bodice and sleeves by a few centimeters throughout the volume. You can also change the neckline at your discretion. Use the proposed drawing as a template. What materials will be needed to sew such an outfit?
- 1.8 – 2.3 meters of fabric (all dimensions are given for size 5);
- 45 centimeters of fabric on the lining (you can use the main fabric as a lining);

- a small amount of non-woven fabric;
- secret lightning;
- beautiful buttons;
- scissors;

Once we have decided on the materials, andthe preparatory work is finished, then you can proceed directly to sewing the dress. First, you should cut out the necessary details of the dress according to the attached pattern. To start sewing the skirt, measure either the finished skirt, the length of which you like, and add 8 centimeters, or decide on the length and the desired splendor in the hips. Cut out 2 rectangles of the required length and width. Cut one of the presented rectangles lengthwise into two equal pieces. As a result, you got 3 rectangles of fabric for sewing the skirt.Leave about 20 centimeters of fabric for the belt.Secure the 3 bodice parts with the right sides together and join the shoulder seams, remembering to allow 1.25 cm. Do the same with the lining. In advance, glue small strips of interlining to the upper part of the main fabric element using an iron. This will give the décolleté area the necessary shape. Before gluing, it is better to practice a little on a separate piece of fabric. This way, you will be able to determine the right temperature of the iron, so as not to spoil the product. When gluing the main fabric and interlining, the iron should be moved evenly over each area of the material, pausing along the way and pressing the iron firmly in the desired area for 8-10 seconds. Connect the sewn bodice elements from above with the right sides together on the sides and sew the seams on the lining, and then on the main fabric.
Connect the lining and main fabric with the front sides togethersides inward and secure them with sewing pins. Sew the parts together, making special indents for seams of 1.25 centimeters in a circle, in other words, along the perimeter of the neckline. Cut off excess fabric to 3-4 millimeters. Sew the remaining fabric with the cut to the lining, making a straight seam with a short stitch. Now turn the bodice elements outward and iron the seams. Combine the cut out sleeve parts with the right sides inward and sew them along the sides, not forgetting about the indent of 1.25 centimeters. Iron the seams. Fold 4-5 millimeters of material inside out and iron the fabric. Do the same with the other sleeve. Secure the selected tape with sewing pins (it is better to use a tape of a contrasting shade) on the wrong side of the sleeve and stitch them together.
Gather about 4 centimeters of materialin the middle of the shoulder line to create "flashlights". To do this, make a straight seam with a wide stitch. Then tighten the thread. Control the degree of splendor of the material. Place the finished sleeves in the armholes that are located between the 2 layers - the lining and the main fabric. Carefully fasten the parts with pins, and then stitch them together. After that, close the lower edge with a zigzag stitch or do an overlock, not forgetting about the indents of 4-8 millimeters. Repeat the zigzag stitch or overlock finishing, but now on the upper part of the skirt. Then make three gathering seams below the finishing, and pull the threads to gather the belt on the skirt. When the skirt is gathered to the desired degree of fullness (it is best to constantly try on the outfit on the girl), connect it to the bodice first with pins, and then stitch with an indent of 1.25 centimeters.
Combine the zigzag orOverlock the edges of the skirt and secure with pins, leave a free area for a hidden zipper and make a straight seam. Connect the zipper to the bodice of the dress, and then make two seams on the sides. Fold the hem of the skirt inward by 1.25 centimeters and iron this place. Then repeat the process with folding one more time by 2.5 centimeters and make a hem with a closed cut. Measure the waist of the outfit. Now add about 8 centimeters to the resulting value, and then cut the belt approximately 10 centimeters wide. Join the belt in half, and make a seam along the entire volume. Do not forget to leave a small open area to turn the product inside out.
Now we turn the belt inside out and finish the seam,trim the threads and iron along the entire perimeter. Wrap the button with the main fabric, sew the edges of the fabric at the base and sew the resulting button to the end of the belt. On the other side, make a loop of the required size and cut it. Sew the ribbon along the entire area of the belt, attaching it from the inside. Connect the belt to the dress with regular pins. The button should be located at the back, like the loop. In the middle, set aside a distance of 6.4 centimeters in the form of dots located in the middle of the belt. Now draw 2 more dots at a distance of 1.25 centimeters from the others, but in the direction inward. Multiply the measurements by 2 and cut two strips of fabric, the width of which will be about 10 centimeters. For the core of the bow, you should cut a 10x10 centimeter square from the fabric. Fold the bow elements in half with the right sides inward. Iron the pieces, then sew a side seam. Turn them inside out, then join them into a circle with the cuts in the center. Sew a ribbon to each element, and join them all with side seams. Turn them inside out, and iron everything so that the seam is in the middle. Fold the two large pieces in descending order, then sew them to the belt. Attach the core of the bow to the center, tuck the edges inward under the belt. Sew carefully, preferably by hand.
Sew the belt using a machine in the required places.places that were marked with pins: under the bow, along the existing seams, so that they become invisible. Fasten the button. That's it, the dress is ready! You can dress your daughter or yourself in a fashionable and feminine dress created by a famous brand.
