Garden Party Dress and Blouse Pattern

This wonderful 'Garden Party' paper pattern from Oliver & S is for making a cute little day dress ans sleevless top.
 
I am a huge fan of Oliver & S patterns and this is why I stock them, the instructions are clear and walk you through every step of the process
 
This pattern offers all sorts of creative options. You can choose to make either a sweet everyday dress or blouse or the ultimate fancy dress or blouse. Both views feature a pretty shirred front bodice, gathered skirt, and a keyhole back-neck opening. The dress version includes cute cap sleeves while the blouse option is sleeveless, but you can mix and match to create a variety of darling styles from one pattern. This pattern is also perfect for embellishing with ribbons, embroidery, or even smocking.
