A lovely departure from our usual smocking venue, this dress fills all kinds of needs.  Quick fast and easy, this dress can be made up from scraps of fabrics that you have lying around or choose your favorite fabrics that go together and create your own original.  The possibilities of embellishment are endless, only limited by the scope of your customers' imaginations.

Collar's Etc.

Collar's Etc. Dottie

The front is constructed of one piece of fabric and features smocking to the shoulder on either side of a center box pleat.  Back has a plain bodice attached to a skirt, and optional belt.  This pattern can also be used for a smocked-to-the-shoulder dress without the center box pleat. Any fabric that can be pleated is suitable for making DottieÕs Day Dress - use fine cottons and linens with delicate trims for a dressy look; try broadcloth, chambray, or oxford cloth for a more casual look. 

All sizes, 1 thru 8, come in one package.
