- Description: Vintage Skipper-inspired A-line dress with collar & cuffs.
- Difficulty: Medium
- Tips: Use a patterned fabric for the bodice/sleeves and a solid color for the collar/cuffs for a classy look. Attaching the cuffs could be a bit tricky, so you might want to make a practice one first. Press before attaching the pieces.
Noe is so cute! XD
Yay! I’ve wanted to try this one for a long time 😀
Thanks Leenda!
Oooh I have to try this one! The collar looks lovely.

Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing all of this wonderful stuff.
neato! will definitely have to give this one a try. thanks linda!! 🙂
Looks great! Trying now. Thanks! 🙂
thank you so much ^^
The dress became really pritty but i failed with the collar… Thanks for upload this pattern!
I’m a little confused. When making the dress, do I cut two of the large pieces? That seems the logical thing to do, but I thought I’d check. I don’t see a seam line through the front of the dress.
Tashi – what do you mean by “two of the large pieces”? The bodice is one whole piece – it is folded at the front when you cut the pattern – open it up & it should be shaped like the letter “Y”.
I think I see what you mean, Linda… I was under the impression that the “front center (fold here)” was referring to folding the fabric, somehow, and I didn’t see how that long V fabric could possibly be a dress, haha. I think I’ve folded it the right way now, and I’ll be testing it very shortly. Thanks for the clarification!
no problem! hope it turns out nice for you! 🙂
hi sorry i know i shud already know this, i printed it straight out and the scale is correct as the pdf, but it seemd a little too big, shes Mod molly sbl. should i shrink the pattern a little bit?
Hi Mandy – SBL/EBL/RBLs have the same body so the pattern should work fine. The original Skipper dress (which the pattern is based on) is a little loose in style. If you like the dress to be a bit tighter, feel free to adjust the pattern accordingly. Have fun!

This is so cute!
This pattern doesn’t make sense to me!
Do you cut 4 of those sleeves? And two of the large pieces?!
I’m so confused!
Hi Rebecca – The dress is not lined, so no. Two sleeves and just one large piece that make up the body.
Thanks.
I still don’t understand how you get the y shape though!
I only seem to have half a dress!
Hi Rebecca – if you don’t fold the fabric, then yep, you only get half a dress. Cut the paper out as is, fold your fabric in half, and line up the center front of the paper pattern to the edge of the fold, pin & cut out the “half-Y” shape. When you’re done, unfold it and you should have a Y-shape. Hope that helps!
[…] that Jan is wearing is gorgeous, I think I could achieve this dress by editing the collar on the All Spruced Up […]
Thanks Linda for sharing these wonderful patterns. I just found your website and want to give a try on this pretty tiny dress for my Blythe. Please kindly keep me on your mailing list for any new patterns you might have in the future. Thanks again Linda ♡
