Andie A-Line Press sewing pattern with appliques

Here’s a pattern for a very cute but simple A-line girl’s dress which features frills at the shoulders and a loop and button back opening. I remember seeing photos of me as a little girl in a dress just like this which my grandmother had made. I LOVED that dress. It was so light and comfortable, I could run and skip with the a-line& skirt, it wasn’t tight around the waist, and I had applique butterflies on it (and flowers) just like one in the picture above. Mine has simple cap sleeves but the cute little frill sleeves that stand up at the shoulders on this dress are perfect.

What really makes this dress adorable are the wonderful appliques you can add, but equally, it would be the perfect go-to A-Line Dress pattern without them.

The sewing pattern comes in sizes 1-7, with each size shown in a different colour. You must use the size chart in the gallery to choose the correct size for you.
