Forget Me Knot Dress - Sizes 12mth-5
Description
This “Forget Me Knot” dress is versatile enough to become a year-round wardrobe staple. Layer it over a short or long-sleeved top or over a turtleneck. In winter, pair it with tights, leggings or jeans for a variety of looks. Adjust the skirt length to your preference. The possibilities are many and this dress can be made for a special occasion or everyday wear.
Tapered petal-shaped straps provide a nice contrast to the main bodice. Knots can be put on both the front and back or solely on the front. Another optional feature is the apron front, which you can embellish in a multitude of ways to express your unique creativity.
Mixing and matching multiple coordinating fabrics make this a fun and interesting project. This pattern is suitable for a beginner if you are up to the challenge of learning how to make buttonholes. There is a reference for free instructions.

Hands down my favorite dress pattern ever. Runs a bit small in the bodice. So easy to put together. THe instructions are perfect and it's the perfect little dress.

simple, great instructions, great end result although i did set the strap into the back of the dress instead of knotting for comfort purposes still a great dress!

Cute little dress!

I like the end result, but was confused about the lining for the bodice. First one I made came out very stiff. Next one I made, I did not use lining all the way up and it was much better.

I recommend sizing up if you want to get longer wear out of this pattern since the bodice runs a tad narrow. Otherwise this is a great pattern. I've used it three times and all three dresses are adorable. I love the fact that this dress can be used year round. They can be worn as a sundress or layered with a t shirt or long sleeved shirt. My daughters also love that the skirt has some twirl to it.

Made these as Christmas dresses. They were a hit with everyone at the mall for Santa pictures. They are 2 years old and the girls still love to wear them.

Hill, Jessica - January 5th, 2012
This pattern is very easy to follow with clear directions. I did find the pattern to be small. The first one I made, I had to take the bodice completely apart and add an additional 2 under each arm and I did measure my girl first!

I've made 4 of these so far, they're quick and easy to put together. I loved the pattern and clear instructions. These dresses all turn out so cute and have such different looks depending on what fabric you pick.

I loved this pattern for my little girl. It was so easy to make and follow. I wish there was one for bigger girls! My older daughter wants a dress for her, she's a size 12. Any work being done on a bigger pattern?

Soooo easy! I'm brand new to sewing and this pattern was so easy to follow. Made my daughter 3 dresses already and everyone keeps commenting on how cute they are.
Kari Williams - August 1st, 2011
This pattern is very straightforward and easy to follow. My only advice is to measure your child before you cut the fabric, especially around the chest and belly! I made this for my niece, without measuring her, and she was only able to wear it once.
