Girls Ruffle Dress with Bishop Puff Sleeves (2-10 Years)

A charming everyday and occasion dress for girls, this pattern combines a softly gathered ruffle with bishop puff sleeves that blouse gently from the shoulder and gather into a neat cuff. The silhouette is easy to wear and easy to move in, making it a practical choice for growing children who still want something that feels special.

Lightweight, drapey fabrics show the sleeves and ruffle at their best. Cotton lawn, double gauze, voile, chambray and soft rayon all gather beautifully, while a small floral or a crisp solid keeps the details clear. Sew it in a breezy cotton for summer holidays, birthdays and family photos, or in a warmer brushed cotton for autumn days layered over tights and a cardigan.

The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on A4 paper, and it also includes an A0 file for printing at a copy shop. All pieces are in one file.
