I would like to share with you the pattern for this cute baby dress. It's late August and the weather is cooler, at least where I live. So it's time to put away those thin, light summer dresses and replace them with something more suitable for the fall. Like this dress. I really enjoyed making it. It is a bit different from the more "lacey" dresses I usually make, so this was quite a fun project. It doesn't take long either. I finished this in two evenings while binge-watching my favourite tv series.
If you like this pattern, feel free to leave a comment. Pinning and sharing is also highly appreciated. Enjoy!
