Rustic Tiered Linen Dress with Bishop Sleeves

This rustic tiered dress brings a relaxed bohemian feel to a child's wardrobe. Soft tiers fall to a midi length, creating gentle ruffled movement with every step, while long bishop sleeves gather at the cuff for a romantic, old-fashioned silhouette. The easy shape suits children who want something pretty to wear without anything stiff or fussy, making it a charming choice for both celebrations and ordinary days at home.

Linen is the natural match for this design, giving the tiers their characteristic texture and soft drape. Linen blends and other light to medium woven fabrics with a similar hand will also work well, holding the gathers without adding bulk. Sew it in a muted natural shade for weddings, family photographs and summer gatherings, or choose a printed cotton-linen for school holidays, picnics and everyday wear through the warmer months.

Sizes run from XS to 5XL (XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL). The pattern is a PDF for printing at home on US Letter or A4 paper (one file for both), 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.
