Girls Winter Fleece Dress with Peter Pan Collar and Bishop Sleeves

A cosy winter dress designed for girls, this pattern combines a classic Peter Pan collar with softly gathered bishop sleeves that taper into neat cuffs. The result is a warm everyday dress with a touch of old-fashioned charm, suitable for confident beginners who have sewn a collar before and for more experienced sewists looking for a quick seasonal make.

Fleece is the natural choice here, giving the dress its soft hand and gentle warmth without adding bulk at the collar or sleeve gathers. Other cosy, stable fabrics with a little give will also work well. Wear it to school, to winter birthdays and family gatherings, or layer it over tights and a long-sleeved top on the coldest days.

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.
