Girls Linen Trapeze Dress with Pockets and Back Buttons

This girls trapeze dress is a relaxed A-line style that falls softly from the shoulders and swings as she moves. Practical patch pockets give small hands somewhere to keep treasures, while the back button closure keeps the front clean and simple and makes the dress easy to get on and off. The gently flared shape is forgiving to fit and comfortable enough for everyday wear.

Linen is a natural match for this design, giving the trapeze shape body along with a soft drape that improves with every wash. Cotton lawn, chambray, double gauze and lightweight denim also suit it well. Wear it on its own in warm weather, or layer it over a long sleeve tee and leggings once the days turn cooler, for school, holidays and weekends alike.

Sizes run from 2Y to 12Y (2Y, 3Y, 4Y, 5Y, 6Y, 7Y, 8Y, 10Y, 12Y). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on US Letter paper, and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. Each size is a separate file, so you print only the size you need.
