Product Description
SOLEIL is a sun-loving, sleeveless, knit dress with contrast ribbing (or stretch knit) around the neck, armholes, back opening and pockets. It features a fun cutout on the back, exposed pockets on the front and a gathered (but not tooo gathered) skirt. A closed-back option is also included for more school-/church-appropriate wear.
SOLEIL comes in sizes 12 months through 12, and the waist is tapered in sizes 5 and up to prevent gaping at the back opening.
All my patterns feature:
- Layered pattern tiles so you can print only the sizes you want
- Fully illustrated and easy-to-understand instructions
- Schematic diagrams with comprehensive garment measurements so you can easily customize the fit
- Professionally graded, colored and dashed size lines
- NEW: Includes both print-at-home and copy shop (33″-wide) versions

This is a great dress. I loved how clear the directions and diagrams are, and my girls instantly loved the deep pockets and the fit. I particularly loved being able to print only the sizes I needed. That made the taping and cutting out of the PDF so much faster than normal. The sizing was also spot-on.

One if my favorite dresses EVER! The directions were clear and easy to read and the dress was super easy to make. The unique back makes this pretty dress a one of a kind, but don’t let it scare you it is easier to assemble than you would think!

LOVE the simple design with a lot of impact; straightforward to sew and very quick! This pattern at testing stage is already better than many finished patterns I’ve purchased. The illustrations are very clear and the directions are succinct. This pattern will be used time and again to create the perfect summer dress for my two daughters.

The way this pattern is designed it is a perfect pattern for the most beginner knit sewer. The use of ribbing on the edges made a difficult to sew thin knit not even a challenge. Diagrams are awesome and the instructions are very clear. The way the pattern was designed made it easy to make it one size longer while making it the right width for my very tall little girl.
