Description
A party dress crowned with a waratah — one big layered crimson flower centred on a cream bodice, puff sleeves with band cuffs, a deep-red sash and a full gathered skirt floating over tulle.
📖 WHAT'S INSIDE
• The complete dress in 7 sizes (ages 2-8), nested on one pattern with a different line style for every size
• Full-size pattern pieces with a 1in test square on every sheet — lined bodice, puff sleeve, band cuff, the three-panel gathered skirt and its tulle overskirt
• The waratah appliqué at full size — 12 outer petals, 9 inner petals and the domed centre, building a flower about 156 mm across — with a placement diagram drawn from the pattern geometry
• A deep-red sash cut from a by-size measurement table (bow at the front or tied at the back), an optional net petticoat page, and centre-back fabric loops with buttons — no zip needed
• Step-by-step construction with diagrams, from cutting to the final button
⚠️ SAFETY & FIT
The full girls' size chart is printed in the guide (chest, waist, height and back waist length for every size) so you can pick the right size before you cut. The guide's safety page covers button security and checking the finished dress over before wear.
🌿 THE AUSSIE BIT
The waratah is the showpiece of the Aussie bush — one great crimson bloom that stops walkers in their tracks. On cream, with a sash the deep red of its heart, it's a party dress with real bush drama.
