Free pattern: Minnie Mouse birthday dress

Melissa from Blank Slate Patterns and Melly Sews shares a free pattern for making this little girls Minnie Mouse birthday dress. She made it as a special birthday present for her niece, who was having a Minnie Mouse themed birthday dress. When made out of a red and white polka dot, the puff sleeves and knee length dress looks just like something Minnie Mouse would wear. It would make an adorable Halloween costume or dress-up dress, or perhaps a special dress for a little girl to wear on a trip to Disney. Her free pattern will fit a little girls size 3T with a 22″ chest measurement. If you need another size, she gives a link to a previous post that explains how to resize patterns.
