Simplicity Historical Dresses Sewing Pattern Costumes for Girls by Andrea Schewe, Sizes 3-4-5-6

Pattern size was just perfect. Pattern was easy go to use and follow.

My granddaughter is not flashy and didn’t want an over the top first communion dress so she asked if I would make one for her. I used this pattern because she wanted a high collar, long sleeves and a full skirt that she could twirl around. This pattern fit the criteria. The only change I made was to make it button up the back instead of the front because her mother had embroidery done on the front. I like this pattern so much l bought it for my daughter and I bought the next group of sizes for later.

Very versatile pattern, I used it to size for a night gown, but will make a pilgrim dress next fall,and maybe something else in between.

I bought this along with a McCalls pattern and this was by far my favorite. I made the A dress and the steps were easy and clearly laid out. I made two for my daughters and then another for their friend. I love the detail work in the eyelet/ribbon front work. Next time I will lengthen the skirt and add some growth tucks for longer wear but otherwise loved this pattern and will be making the D dress shortly.

Exactly what I needed to finish the order I had.
