Step into the festive spirit with Crystal’s charming Holiday Dress tutorial, designed especially for little ones around 18 months old. This dress is a delightful blend of vintage flair and modern sewing techniques, perfect for making your little girl the star of any holiday gathering.
The dress features a lined bodice and a gathered skirt, closing with buttons at the back. But what truly sets it apart is the sash that’s sewn onto the front and ties at the back, along with an adorable Peter Pan collar that adds a sprinkle of sweetness. Crystal opted for a lace fabric layered over cotton for the body of the dress, and satin for the sash and collar, achieving a vintage holiday look that’s simply irresistible.
The tutorial is incredibly detailed, offering a free pattern that Crystal originally drafted for her daughter. It’s designed to fit a girl with a chest size of about 19″-20″ and hits just above the knee. While the pattern is only available in size 18 months, the tutorial is so comprehensive that you can easily adapt it for different sizes with a bit of sewing know-how.
Whether you’re a seasoned seamstress or a beginner eager to create something special this holiday season, this tutorial is a gift that keeps on giving. With Crystal’s step-by-step guidance, you’ll find yourself wrapped up in the joy of creating something truly magical.
