This little summer dress was inspired by my lovely daughter Cadence. She needed a lightweight dress for summer which did not sit against her skin except in the chest area. The combination of a cross-over bodice, feature ribbon and fern lace skirt was the result.

This free version of the pattern is written using my own tight gauge and has instructions only for a 12-24 month size. Larger sizes can be modified by using looser gauge or thicker yarn.

15/8/2013 - With thanks to Barbara Ajroldi for the translation, this pattern is now available in Italian also!
