A traditional prairie style for girls, our Carrie's Dress looks very much like the dresses worn by younger girls on Little House on the Prairie. Short sleeves are finished with a small ruffle and long sleeves with a cuff. The Peter Pan collar is optional. The back closes with a zipper. Because of the high yoke and full skirt, this dress fits for a longer time than most and may remind you of the Bishop style smocked dresses you wore as a child. You may choose from any of our fabrics for this dress but please avoid heavy fabrics as it is hard to install a zipper. This style works great for girls who need a bit more room around the tummy and our Girl's Pinafore works great if you'd like to make a set.
Approximate finished length is as shown in the size chart below. If you have a child who does not fit into a size fairly close to her age, please use the contact form at the top of the page to drop us a note so that we can help you with sizing.
