GARMENT DETAILS
The lovely Marshmallow sewing pattern is a sweet trapeze dress, with a loose, comfy fit and a fun ruffle, Peter Pan collar and optional cute bow. It comes with three different sleeve options: 3/4 sleeves and cuffs, short sleeves or sleeveless.
The Marshmallow dress can be dressed up or down, from a Christmas party to a wedding, from a walk around town to the office with a belt for a close fitted look.
If you like the version for women, you can also make the Mini Marshmallow Dress for girls age 3 to 12.
You can also learn how to make the pattern on our YouTube Channel.

*This option is only valid for all the dress pieces minus the ruffle. As the ruffle
is wider than the fabric width you will have to choose a 150cm-60’’ wide fabric
