I made this Easter outfit for my 3 year old Granddaughter Arya. I embroidered the "egg" pocket (stuffed with a little chick) on it with a row of long 4.0 stitches so that I can easily remove it when Easter is over and she can wear it again. The dress is a Project Runway dress and was a dream to make. Thanks for looking! ~Pam

Cute as can be both Arya and the set. Her hair is beautiful and so is she.

Beautiful. Model and dress. Making the easter design removable is a smart idea.

What a beautiful outfit so well made.
Can I ask where did you get the zipper purse pattern?
I am looking for one in that exact shape.

Thank you. Gosh I wish I could tell you where I got it but I have no idea. I'm so sorry. It was a 5x7 ITH design though.

Wow Pam, this is just beautiful. I love Aqua on children and you've done an amazing job on this dress. I personally love the little underpants too. A fantastic matching set. Your grand-daughter is so beautiful and what gorgeous hair too. Well done, love Chris

Would you please let us know the name of the Pattern of this cute dress. I've just been onto Project Runway and looked through the patterns for children, but cannot locate it. Love Chris
by pamelahess 11 Apr 2017
Hi Chris. Thank you for the compliments! The pattern is Simplicity 2265. Its a Project Runway series. The directions are very easy and the dress goes together in no time at all. I did however mix it up a bit and used 3 colors on it instead of two like the pattern suggested.
by pamelahess 11 Apr 2017
Also Chris, if you want to see it in a very striking color, click on my name and go to page 2 and look at the same pattern (on Arya) for a 4th of July dress I made her a couple of years ago. I loved it even more than I like this Easter dress.

My first thought was the child and the dress is beautiful, but jenne beat me to it....She really is adorable, and so is the dress. Good idea to sew the pocket on that way, she will get more use of a lovely dress!

Thank you. The pattern is Simplicity 2265. It is a "Project Runway" series and really easy to make.
by pamelahess 11 Apr 2017
I did a search on simplicity site and they don't list this anymore, however, if you type in simplicity 2265 into google, that pattern is for sale all over the place for about $4.00.

This is a beautiful outfit for a beautiful girl. The detachable Easter pocket is genius. Do you mind giving me the dimensions for the purse and the length of the strap. I want to make a purse for a 3 year old that lives far away. Thanks

Thank you! The purse is an ITH bag that is 5x7 finished. And the strap is finished at 25". I used an ITH bag/purse design I already had and changed the design up for Easter.

I took the liberty, of adding the link, to your other dress using this pattern. I think it was really pretty in the red, white, and blue but this dress is sweet for easter, too.
