This pattern
includes two sizes that are both
indicated on
the tissues - Small and
Large. The
Small size will fit a child
dress 4 to 8
(US) and the Large will
fit 10 to 14.
This dress is
designed to
accommodate
various sizes of girls in
dance companies
without any
alterations
except for the lengths. The
custom fitted
bodice is due to two
ribbons tied in
the back which gather
the dress for
an "empire" waist line.
This will
provide an adjusted fit for
comfort and is
flattering to a variety
of sizes. There
are no zippers to
install and we
expect this pattern is
for average
sewers.
I would like to
thank Lois Stanert
who inspired
this versatile design and
Heather Taylor
who drafted and
illustrated
this final product.
Many thanks
also to the young
worship
dancers, Kaitlin and Karoline
Staton,
Michelle Saddic and Cerise
Taylor for
modeling for us.
We at Sacred
Dance Costumes are
excited to
offer the dance community
with this dress
for the young ladies.
Blessings to
you all as you dance
before our
Lord.
