The Amelie dress is a gorgeous little girl's dress that features either three quarter length sleeves or a sleeveless bodice, attached to a full, gathered skirt. Ideal for parties, as a special occasion dress, maybe even as a bridesmaid dress, the Amelie is every little girl's dream for twirling around in.
A great design for summer and winter, you can dress it up or down, maybe even shorten the skirt length to make it more like a skater dress. This pattern features a gathered skirt and optional button holes - you can attach poppers instead to close up the back.
