sweet girl showing off pink tiered dress with buttons

From LBG Studio:

I really love these little dresses! The idea came from a top my daughter has that I thought would translate really well into a dress. I wanted something that would be quick and easy to throw on - these dresses can be pulled on over the head...no need to unbutton the buttons. I cheated and sewed my buttons on through both layers of the bodice and skipped buttonholes. I made two versions of the dress, one with a flouncy, twirly 2 tier skirt and one with a less full single tier skirt with side seam pockets. Like the original top, I made these dresses using knits because they're so soft, stretchy, and comfy. This tutorial includes printable bodice pattern pieces to sew a size 2T-3T dress {plus tips on how to make other sizes} and step by step directions for making 2 skirt variations.
