Ah, the Fairy Tale Dress<\/a>. You know, the one that you can take to full-on, fancy party mode (if you want to that is). It\u2019s the ultimate dress for special occasions with two different Peter Pan collars (or it could be made collarless), two different waist bow options, with or without tulip cap sleeves, an invisible zipper, it’s fully lined, and it even has a crinoline, to boot!<\/p>\n

The Fairy Tale Dress is a more time-consuming pattern because of all the wonderful details, and we strongly recommend making a bodice muslin<\/a> to ensure a good fit. This style is more fitted than our other styles. Also, if you are sewing this dress for a toddler, head over to the tutorial for fitting a Fairy Tale muslin for a toddler<\/a>. Be sure to take your time with this one. You\u2019ll be amazed at the end result.<\/p>\n

First up, we have Rita<\/a> who sewed this green and gorgeous version with a Nani Iro double gauze border print. The wearer calls it her “popcorn dress<\/a>” and in their household they have a Christmas tradition of stringing popcorn into a garland, so how perfect is that?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shelley<\/a> made this lovely one<\/a> in sheer blue\/grey fabric underlined with cotton.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is a pretty one in pink<\/a> by Kelly<\/a> who used a Liberty print for the dress and shot cotton for the collar.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These two coordinated dresses<\/a> were made for sisters in rich and vibrant colors. Marnae<\/a> made the first one in a floral cotton poplin and the second one in a fuchsia faux dupioni silk.<\/p>\n

Next up, Deb<\/a> changed it up a little by adding smocking to this red, white, and green snowflake version<\/a> which already made an appearance in the smocked dress round-up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Smocked<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jenny<\/a> created this beautiful one in red velvet<\/a> with added length and a (collarless) scalloped neckline.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This cute version<\/a> is by Alexandra<\/a> who used a Liberty of London Hello Kitty with green apples print cotton lawn with red cotton trim.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lastly, Donna<\/a> has made many Fairy Tale Dresses. Here there are three in a row<\/a>! All in red. Each one unique.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Oliver<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She also sewed these in: red cotton silk<\/a>, merlot silk<\/a>, and purple and wine dupioni silk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
