The “Olive dress” comes in 2 size options

2T-10

and Tween 10-16

You can view the size chart here.

For tween sizes 10-16 Fabric Requirements:

You can choose 1 fabric for the whole dress, or use a separate fabric for the different parts. I have it broken down so you can get what you need

Tween Skirt – 2 yards
Tween Bodice – 1 yard
Tween Bodice Lining – 1 ya
* If using the same fabric for bodice and bodice lining, you will need 1.75 yards total for that part
* If using the same fabric for the entire dress please get 3.5 yards total

For 7-10 girls sizing Fabric Requirements:

You can choose 1 fabric for the whole dress, or use a separate fabric for the different parts. I have it broken down so you can get what you need

Kids Skirt – 1.75 yards
Kids Bodice – 1/2 yard
Kids Bodice Lining – 1/2 yard
* If using the same fabric for bodice and bodice lining, you will need 1 yards total
* If using the same fabric for the entire dress please get 2.5 yards total

*All students will need 1 large or 2 small spools of all-purpose thread for the dress.
*All students will need 2 yards of a ribbon (1/4″ -5/8″ wide) or 2 yards of 1/4″ wide double fold bias tape which we can use as a tie closure.

*Fabric Recommendations – quilting cottons, cotton sateen or other light-mid weight woven fabrics. Only more advanced students should choose something slippery for this dress. No knit(stretch) fabrics. It is a full skirt that layers in the front so nothing too thick, stiff or bulky.
