Portrait Dress with Lace and Puffing Bands

This dress was made for a five year old girl for her portrait. The dress consists of a lace square yoke, two puffing bands, and three lace bands. Puffing bands are quite interesting to make and add so much to the appearance of the dress. The yoke was made using Sarah Howard Stone's Basic Yoke Pattern (Size 5). A half inch was added to depth of the yoke to extend the length of time the child can wear the dress.

Sewn for Sarah Howard Stone, Inc.
