The Easiest Pattern for a Girl’s Ruffled Dress- The Mallory Dress

Sharing is caring!

I’m excited to present a new sundress pattern for your little girl this week and I have named it “The Mallory Dress”. This dress pattern may seem intricate, but it’s actually quite simple to make. If you’ve already tried my pillowcase dress or peasant dress pattern, you’ll find this one even easier.

 

 

 

With this design, you won’t need to sew any sleeves. Instead, the neckline ruffle gracefully drapes over the shoulders, creating a sleeve-like appearance. Additionally, there are no zippers or buttons involved, making it a breeze to sew and effortless to put on and take off.

 

 

 

To add a touch of style to the dress, you can experiment with various fabrics for the dress body and ruffle. Get creative and mix and match different patterns and colors.

 

 

 

Enhance the overall look by incorporating complementary trims such as lace, rickrack, or pompoms. This way, you can create a fashionable outfit that your little girl will love!

Next, we sew the side seams.

 

 

 

Let’s hem the ruffle.

 

 

Next, we pin the ruffle piece to the dress. For that, we need to mark the top center of both pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Zigzag along the entire raw edge of the ruffle and neckline to prevent fraying.
