This pattern is rated intermediate, but I've had beginners make dresses with minimal assistance from an older seamstress.
The bodice for the girls’ pattern is straight (not gathered) across the front, and the skirt gathers all the way around (though you can create it with gathers across the back only if you prefer). The bodice back has the period correct dropped shoulder seams and curved side back seams. A wide ribbon around the waist gives the dress a darling “Kate Greenaway” look. You can follow the instructions in the appendix to create a cute, gathered slip-on version of the dress as well. The pattern is rated “intermediate” because of the lining and understitching, but it is actually easier to put together than the women’s pattern. Please note that this pattern is designed for girls who have not yet hit puberty. Girls who are already developing will need the women's pattern (the size 6 is the next natural step up from this pattern).
