Reverie Dress

Skill Level: Confident Beginner

Recommended Fabric Types: This garment is drafted for knit fabric with at least 50% stretch and good stretch recovery. The fitted bodice will be most comfortable in high stretch fabrics such as bamboo or rayon jersey, brushed polyester, etc (75-100% stretch). I recommend sizing up the bodice for more structured knits such as printed cotton lycra.

NOTE: This pattern was formerly the Little Daydream by George and Ginger. Baby sizes 6-12m and 12-18m have been added, and additional ease has been added to all sizes (the bodice fit is less tight). Those who purchased the original George and Ginger pattern can get a 60% discount on the new version – just find the last word in the last sentence on page 11 of the original tutorial and enter the word in the discount code field at checkout – all in UPPERCASE letters, with no spaces. Please note, this code will not work if the pattern is already on sale.
