Make this dress for someone’s special Easter Sunday attire, or better yet, for any spring occasion!
Janet Gilbert added her own special touch to Gail Doane’s Swiss Voile Pintucks Dress from our premiere issue of Classic Sewing, Spring 2016. Janet’s exquisite smocking design combines elegant geometric smocking with picture-smocked dogwoods; the result is a breathtakingly beautiful design that’s sure to become a new springtime classic. This dress also features an entredeux and lace-trimmed collar, puffed sleeves, tucks, and a sash bow.
