I did received my newsletter day but I cant find any free pattern. And now here is the question. Is it possible to resend? They came out wonderfully, I’m quite sure I made a couple of Christmas dresses from your tutorial a few years ago, and I remember having to do some finagling to size the pattern up for my 6 year old niece. So it is great! a lot of girls patterns stop at 6, it seems. I’m so happy you expanded the sizes now that my nieces are 9, 8, and 7! It is the first is that I wanted to expand the pattern into the full range of The Cottage Mama pattern sizing. Then, I have also included a few additional techniques including an alternate bodice construction technique. Notice, now all the bodice pieces are nice and digitized just like all The Cottage Mama Patterns.
When I first released this pattern I wasn’t selling my own patterns and I just don’t feel like the hand drawn pattern pieces were a great reflection of the patterns I currently sell.
I am rereleasing this pattern for a few reasons.
By the way I knew it was time to make this beautiful classic dress in sizes to fit a tad older girl, the first release of the pattern only had size 18 month -size Savannah is already in size 6. Pressed the seams open. Oftentimes you are right I zigzagged the edges first so marked the 3″ point from the top.
I hereafter stitched up to there.
Hi, By the way I just feel like replying to you as long as I just made this dress….
I hope this helps -if you haven’t already done it! It makes it easier to get over the child’s head. You should take it into account. That’s just how it’s left. Available in size 6 months -10 years. It’s great pattern for confident beginner sewists and offers many ways to get creative with your design! So Party Dress has a fully lined bodice and encased waist seams for tal comfort for your little one. It’s an interesting fact that the Party Dress is a free pattern from The Cottage Mama. Bodice back features button loop closures….so no buttonholes or zippers. Just keep reading! I signed up for the newsletter last night as well as received the confirmation email.
Oddly enough, I just checked my bookmark day to refresh myself on quite a few instructions, only to find a tally new fancy pattern version!
I can make this in one night time sewing session, Know what guys, I never consider that when I read it.
I’m excited for the larger sizes omaking one for my 6 year old night!Thanks Lindsay! I’m on my 9th Party Dress -this pattern sews up so must match your outfit, but, more importantly, you have to be able to withstand hours of dancing and frivolity in them. If heels feel like foreign bodies on your feet, days, I’d say in case not weeks before, you should better practice walking in them -not on the day of the party. Ask your older sisters what party feet are, and make the gel insolesyour friend you have to do to ensure you won’t have to cast them aside at 7pm and go barefoot. Thanks for the great Party Dress pattern.
Everything else worked out good, just let me know about this area.
One question, what do I do with the 3″ opening where skirt back meets bodice.
Couldn’t find any mention of this area on the pattern. You’d better sign up for the newsletter. I’m sure you heard about this. Thanks very much! Furthermore, please do so in this post and half an hour after you receive your confirmation, you will get the email with the pattern. Any ideas you could give me will be much appreciated. I have never actually sewed with it yet, hi there. That I LOVE, just little things like my husbands hems and all that I was wondering, what stitch you will use on the serger? I’m pretty sure I am not practiced in anything else, the 4 and 3 thread overlock look so heavy. I am so excited to make this for my daughter!
Love it and I love all the photos of the dresses that been made by your followers.
Thanks for releasing this quality pattern for free.
Very inspiring! I focus best in the morning and I’m hoping to get started this week while my daughter is at preschool. I am hoping for some quality sewing time this week so that I can get started without any interruptions. For instance, is there a reason for this or have I done something wrong?? That’s right! Have only received the conformation email, but no newsletter containing the pattern. Actually I have subscribed. You will receive the pattern as soon as you have signed up for the newsletter……it will arrive 1 hour after you sign up.

The Party Dress is a newsletter subscriber exclusive pattern.
You already received your first newsletter that contained the pattern, if you already subscribed to The Cottage Mama Newsletter. You must hit enter twice on your keyboard or just hit enter once on your phone. I signed up for your newsletter and received the first one. That’s interesting right? I did not receive the dress pattern instructions. This is the case. Any suggestions? I am exciting to see what future newsletters hold.
I checked my spam folder and nothing.
I did not have enough fabric to make the size I wanted.
I had downloaded and tried the original one and now I am glad I have the updated versions. I just love this pattern! I tried it yesterday but eliminated the wide sash and the skirt hem. For my sewing level, it turned out ok. Nonetheless, thanks again for the free pattern! Then again, do previous subscribers get this pattern since this would make the perfect easter dress! Hi I was wondering I haven’t received the pattern yet and are subscribed to your blog for some time. Thank you a lot for making this pattern available to be enjoyed at no cost! I am SO excited to make this for my little girl! Now regarding the aforementioned fact… Thanks again! Seriously. Thank you in advance for the pattern. I am always looking for great patterns that sew up and become a success instead of another not so nice dress. I have a 8 yr old great niece that loves to wear nice dresses, she should be excited to have this one. Remember, the post will still stay up with a lot of the images in the event you have it pinned on Pinterest. As a result, I have removed the original instructions on the Party Dress post as they was updated with new skirt measurements and lots more and I don’t look for anyone getting confused and using the old instructions. That’s where it starts getting very entertaining, right? You are welcome to join The Cottage Mama Patterns group on Facebook, if you can not locate your The Cottage Mama Newsletter.

Is this still active?
They are 3 and 1 now.
I would love to have this adorable dress for my two granddaughters. Generally, I haven’t received a newsletter, To be honest I thought I had already subscribed and it says I have. Essentially, thanks! Ok, and now one of the most important parts. Can you check that out for me, please? Consider using woven cotton for a more casual look or take it up a notch with silk Dupioni for those fancier occasions. Party Dress is the ultimate classic dress. Just think for a moment. Did you know that the feminine design is perfect for all ages and the big bow sash makes almost any little girl feel like a princess. Remember, the Party Dress can be dressed up and down according to the fabric used. This is the case.a lot of many thanks for making this available to us for free.
You are a star.
I signed up for the newsletter yesterday but still have not got the pattern.
It is a beautiful dress and I would love to make it for a friend. Despite I realise you must be super busy, if you could must be fantastic. Now let me tell you something. To be honest I just never found the time to send out the newsletter, so this list was growing and growing for sometime. With that said, day we are finally sending out the first The Cottage Mama Newsletter. Notice that I finally hired my virtual assistant, Allison Rosen, and so I feel like I can get going on taking care of loads of housekeeping here. I signed up and received confirmation that I was signed up but never received the newsletter.
Thank you for this lovely pattern.
How can I still get this pattern?
I checked spam and nothing there either. Help! For example, thanks! I signed up for the newsletter and received the confirmation but I can’t see where to download the party dress pattern. Did you hear of something like that before? Am I overlooking something? It is excited for all the great patterns on your web site! Needless to say, the Fiftiesstyle midi your friend wore to her 21st nobody is expected to have their signature style honed by the age of 21. I’ll send you pictures when I get to finish the project.
