The Alice Pleated Dress - Bella Sunshine Design

The Alice Dress by Bella Sunshine Designs is probably one of my favourite dresses. Classic, with a touch of vintage!




The Peter Pan collar, the pleats, the cap sleeves, the fitted bodice, the hidden pockets, the optional dainty belt! All the little details just make this pattern perfection and the finishes are superb, exactly what you would expect from a pattern that oozes sophistication!




When the inside is just as beautiful as the outside!


The entire dress, including the sleeves, is fully lined and has an invisible zip for easy on and off. 



I adore little collars and this one is just the right size, petite and such a beautiful shape!



One of the options included is adding a bias trim to the collar, which I also love and I will be making one with a piping edge next too (the piping instructions aren't included).





The Alice Pleated Dress pattern is sure to be a favourite and comes in sizes 6 months to 12 years. There is also a ladies version, that is just as beautiful, you really need to have a look at the photos! You can find them here

The fitted bodice gives this dress a gorgeous silhouette.


I added a diamante slider to the belt instead of a buckle or rings and it just gives that extra little bit of pizazz (not that it really needs it)





Miss K chose pearls and a little clutch bag to style this shoot and wanted her hair pulled back "like Belle from Beauty and The Beast" - she chose well!




The Alice Dress in both girls and ladies sizes is on sale during Bella Sunshine Designs 'Back To School' sale for 24 hours only on the 14th August!
