Daisy Back-Open Dress – free girls’ pattern with back elastic and ties

Here’s another design for all the little fashionistas out there — the Daisy Dress pattern. This one-of-a-kind design features a comfortable back elastic with ties, adding just the right oomph to any little one’s outfit. The open back keeps it cool through summer, the elastic gives a flexible fit across a wide size range, and the ties let little hands manage their own getting-dressed without any help.

Back-elastic dresses are the secret weapon for growing kids — she’ll wear it through two seasons before she sizes out.
