Sewing Therapy Baby/Child Mini Tie Dress

Buy the Baby/Child Mini Tie Dress sewing pattern from Sewing Therapy. This is a charming and versatile take on the iconic Tie Dress, thoughtfully adapted for young children. It has a narrower neckline for a more secure fit, with a button closure at the back for wardrobe changes without fuss. The skirt has been redesigned with gathers for a playful and voluminous silhouette that is both comfortable and adorable. There are also two sleeve options to suit different styles and occasions. Choose the basic sleeve for an easy everyday look, or go for the ruffled sleeve for added charm. Like the adult version, the dress can be worn with the rounded neck or V-neck in front, and the adjustable ties at the waist create the perfect fit, whether tied at the front, back, or sides. Bring your mini-me sewing dreams to life!
