Picture
The Isabella Dress is my latest design.  I designed this using the star stitch around the bodice to add texture.  The bottom half consists of shells.  As an extra for you all. I also designed the petticoat for underneath this little beauty. Read more on this and see the different versions from my testers!

Row 2: ch 1, turn, sc in same st, *ch 2, sk 1 sc, sc in next sc*, rep from * to * around.

Cut tulle in lengths of 21 inches. Add tulle

I added tulle to every other ch 2 sp, skipping the first one.  You can use 1 piece or more depending on your likes.  I used one piece of tulle . Use the Lark Foot Knot to assemble the tulle

Add 4 buttons to the inside of the dress.  The buttons should be located just above where the ribbon will be.  I added 1 button on each side and one in the center front and center back. I used the empty first 2 chs as a button hole.  Here on the other side you can adjust the fit.

Weave ribbon in and out and tie in a bow and you are finished.

This pattern has been tested but, like anything else mistakes can still happen.  If you should find a mistake, please contact me @sherianne64@gmail.com.  Thank you so much and enjoy!

I have a question about the very first instruction.
"With MC chain 55"
Does MC stand for Main Color? In this case the white color.

Following in case you answer my first question about making it bigger or if you could give me the multiples. I just love this dress and my Grandaughter, so I'll be patient in case you come up with a bigger one. Lol! Thanks for sharing.

Hi,
Would like to make a size 3. I find so many cute dress patterns, but they're all for babies up to 12 months. It's so hard to find cute ones for toddlers.

What row do you see that? I can't find it and it is probably a typo. Please let me know.

I love this pattern so much that I made the dress for my granddaughter. I used a blue instead of fuchsia and it turned out lovely. Thank you for sharing!

Hello I love this dress I want to make it for my nieces first birthday but I was wondering if possible to have a matching diaper cover idea for a one year old?! If not I'm sure I could find one and make it work
