Such a pretty dress and easy to construct. I
call this a Cinderella Dress.
It features a smocked front inset trimmed with lace
or eyelet edging, full puffed sleeves with smocked lace trimmed cuffs, a
generously gathered skirt, back button opening and sash at the waistline.
The unique front inset extends all the way to the hemline,
and can be created using the main fabric, contrasting fabric, or embroidered
eyelet as shown. Since the skirts are cut lengthwise along the fabric, border
prints can also be used.
Fully illustrated, easy-to-follow instructions make
this lovely dress a delight to create.
