Pattern Description:
This adorable A-line Elsie Dress pattern is an easy and fun project for a summer afternoon. Pick some coordinating fabric for the ruffled sleeves and your little one will be dressed up and ready to go!

Pattern Sizing:
3/6 months, 6/9 months, 12/18 months, 2T, 3T, 4, 5 & 6
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes although I used ric rac rather than a contrast trim

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Easy to make and easy to follow

Fabric Used: Cotton passed down from my Mum's stash

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: Used ric rac rather than a contrast trim

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? I made this as a gift and would certainly make it again.

Conclusion:
Cute little girl's dress, perhaps a little large in the sizing but it would depend on the frame of your child for their age.
