As an added bonus, we even threw in some DIY dress patterns for adults...for those little girls who never quite found the time to grow up.

For example, the Quilted Summer Dress is entirely made up of fabric pieces. Made to look like a quilt, this warm weather dress is great for the girl who marches to her own drum...since no 2 dresses will ever be alike!
