30+ Cute and Free Girls Dress Patterns

Sewing for girls is really fun and rewarding. At least it is at my house.

Anytime I sit down to create a fun sewing project, my daughter asks me what I am making for her. Even if I am not making anything for her.

It is just assumed I guess.

That makes the days that I actually am making something for her way more exciting. She adores Mom made projects. Her favorite...dresses.

I love to sew her new dresses each season or sometimes holidays. That is why I love all these free girls dress patterns.

So many options, styles, colors and designs. There is truly something for every little girl with these dresses.

I hope you'll find this list helpful as well.
