Pattern Description
The Belle Dress is my girliest design yet. Your little princess will look absolutely adorable in the full skirt and puff sleeves. The Belle Dress is meant to fit tightly around the chest with a positive ease of 0-7.5cm/0-3in. The dress is worked from the top down. The puff sleeves are created by a three stitch ruffle in the front and back loops of the 3rd row. The dress features an empire waist and a full skirt. You can easily make the dress without the puff sleeves and keep them open if you prefer. A beautiful lace edging is stitched onto the bottom of the skirt and around the neckline to complete the dress.
