Elastic Waist Milkmaid Style Dress| Daisy Frock PDF Pattern Tutorial

This dress is a midi length with elastic gathering in the waist area and adjustable ties at the neckline and waistline. Style A features spaghetti straps which are adjustable through the front ties and Style B features ruffled sleeves with a doubled ruffle hem.

Bust circumference: 31 in to 51 in (78.7 cm to 129.5 cm)
This is a loose fitting garment with elastication in the waist and shoulder area. Choose your size based on your closest bust measurement even if the rest of your measurements are smaller. If you have a smaller or larger bust than a B or C cup you may consider raising or lowering the neckline (see instructions on page 16). Double check finished garment measurements to ensure that the size you have chosen will accommodate your hip measurement.

I am wearing a size 8. My measurements are B:35" W:28" H:38"

I love how you teach us to make our finishings look super professional. Great video. Beautiful dress.

Thank you for taking the not insignificant amount of time to be so detailed in the video editing and voiceover. I never plan on making this myself but it was still a great and informative watch!

Aaaaa these are so cute!! I’ve been waiting so long to “become a dress girl” (I.e., lose weight because I always felt self conscious about my current body in anything but sweats) but truly a sewing project like this can’t be put off. The elastic waist band would be perfect to get me started on wearing dresses comfortably

Amazing! Great instructions, it’s a little advanced for me but Lord willing one day! God bless you Lydia! Keep up the good work ❤

The closing of the lining hem seem so daunting the first time watching this tutorial but it’s actually very simple once you get to that step and start doing it!!

This is such a pretty design! It's been forever since I've sewn a dress, but I just might have to make this one! God bless and congratulations on your baby girl!

[TerrrriblyMarie]

[vickimorabito]

I've just cut this out and ready to start. My daughter is going to look gorgeous in this Dress. :)

Do you think this dress would look good with long sleeves?

[teruldacz]

I'm just working on my dream frock dress. My brain is kinda hurting from it as I have to line it and add straps to the sleeves as the elastic wouldn't hold my bug bust enough. I was waiting for this pattern to come out. So I'm buying it right away. It will be my next project.

I'm working on this now, but having trouble with where to mark the top buttonhole, in Channel A - any tips? I wasn't able to separate the size layers as I'm working from my phone.
