Kimmie. Smocked Dress and Diaper Cover. Lined Bodice And Back Snap Opening.

Every little girl needs a smocked dress.

See this adorable pattern for a Kimmie Smocked Dress and Diaper Cover.

Suggested Fabric includes Quilting cotton, Eyelet, Chambray, Gingham, Lightweight Poplin, and Linen.

Additional Fabric may be required to match stripes, plaids or one-way design fabric.

This is a cute little classic dress with a fully lined bodice. 

Great to wear as is, as a summer dress, or as a pinafore on cooler days or evenings. Also looks great with tights. Sew the bodice with a contrasting fabric or the same as the skirt. The bodice is high waisted which allows for smocking to the waist. Make a matching diaper cover to complete the outfit. Don't worry if you are new to smocking or sewing garments; this pattern is a perfect place to start. The smocking is done at the back and front, so there's no need for calculating belt placement. No armholes need to be cut out, making blocking easier.

The back opening and hem are completed in one step using a bias strip. The pattern includes instructions for sew-in snaps, and you can also use a tool to set snaps or add buttonholes if you prefer. Adding ric rac or piping to the hemline can add some more detail. Please note that this listing is for a digital download and not a physical pattern.
