Dress 40 — girls' dress with puff sleeves and a belt

Girls' dress pattern with puff sleeves, a square neckline and a matching belt, with a gathered layered hem, for kids' party lines.

Dress with short puff sleeves and a square neckline, with a thin matching belt that cinches the waist. The skirt is full and the hem ends in a gathered band that adds volume.

Work it in cotton poplin or piqué, medium-weight woven fabrics that hold the volume of the skirt and the gathering of the hem. It is a piece for kids' party lines and pairs with headbands or matching accessories within the same proposal. Build the puff sleeves with light interfacing so they keep their shape.

It comes in 9 sizes (2 to 18) with the industrial grading already done: pick the sizes you need on the product page, or buy the full size range in one go. Delivered as an A4 PDF to print at home and a true-scale plotter PDF (90, 120 or 150 cm wide); DXF/AAMA, Optitex (PDS), marker (MRK) or Audaces (ADS) files for cutting directly in CAD are available on request. Digital download within 24 hours of payment confirmation.
