Absolutely A-line : 1 easy pattern = 26 adorable dresses for girls - Wendi Gratz

The classic, always fashionable A-line undergoes a charming reinvention at the hands of stitching whiz Wendi Gratz and a host of talented designers. Working off a single, simple pattern, they demonstrate the versatility of the basic form by creating over two dozen adorable variations - all just for little girls. The 26 projects, all captivatingly photographed, feature a range of structural adaptations and styles. Some have pockets, others have sleeves and many have embellishments such as appliqu, piecing, embroidery and quilting. As well as dresses, there are also jumpers, smocks, tops and skirts. The book includes the full pattern, with children's sizes from three to eight.
