Dress 42 — girls' dress with a crossed back and a tropical print

Girls' dress pattern with crossed back straps and a tropical print, with a flared skirt and a side pocket, for summer lines.

Sleeveless dress with straps that cross at the back, a body with a piqué texture, a skirt that flares below the waist, a side pocket and a tropical print of leaves and fruit.

It works best in piqué or cotton jersey for the freshness girls' summer clothing calls for. It sells well in kids' beach and warm-season lines, and pairs with sandals and accessories in the same print. Sew the crossed back straps reinforced, because they carry the whole weight of the skirt.

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.

Professional sewing pattern for girls, approved with a sewn sample, with the full industrial size range available. Sizes are chosen on the product page (the base price covers the standard size selection and each extra size adds a small surcharge); the CAD formats include the full size range.
