Fit Guide:
Bust: The June dress has a 1” ease at the bust, which provides a slim fit. Measure your child around the bust,
add 1” and choose the size closest from the FINISHED MEASUREMENT CHART.
Waist: The June dress is finished with a back elastic casing at the waist. The provided elastic measurement will
create a negative ½” ease at the waist. The elastic will stretch several inches to provide comfort during wear. If
a more relaxed fit at the waist is desired, simply add additional length to the waist elastic pieces.
Dress Length: The June dress has two length options. The vintage length should hit about 2-2 ½” above the
knee. The knee length should hit right above the knee. To lengthen or shorten, length can be added or removed
from the bottom of the Skirt Front Side, Skirt Front Center and Skirt Back pieces.

Designer Tip:
June is a perfect base to add embellishments with it’s simple and classic silhouette. We love the modifications
our testers made to these two June dresses. The June on the left has the cap sleeve from our Sleeve Pack added.

Sewing Instructions:
Creating the June Back Ties: (If you are using premade ties from bias, ribbon or lace, please skip down
to step #3).
1. Fold one of the back ties in half lengthwise with the right sides touching and raw edges lining up. Pin
together along the long open edge and one short end to secure. Sew along the pinned seams. Repeat for the
remaining back tie.
2. Trim off ½ of the seam allowance, clip the corner, turn right side out and iron flat. Repeat for the
remaining back tie. NOTE: This is a very narrow tube. Using a tube turner or other turning tool will
make turning easier.

Creating the June Bodice:
3. Place the bodice front and bodice back main pieces together with the right sides touching and the raw
edges lining up. Pin to secure along the raw edge of the shoulder. Repeat for the bodice front and back lining
pieces.
Design Tip: If you would like to embellish the bodice front or back, now is the time. The bodice can be
embellished with lace, ribbon, a coordinating fabric panel, etc.
4. Sew together along the pinned seams. Iron the seams open flat.

5. Lay the bodice back main open flat. Place the raw edge of one back tie on top of the bodice back at the
base of the angled neckline. Center the tie along the short straight edge of the bodice back neckline. Baste in
place using ¼” seam allowance. Repeat for the remaining back tie and the opposite side of the bodice back
neckline.
6. Place the bodice front and back main on top of the bodice front and back lining with the right sides
touching and the raw edges lining up. Starting and stopping at the notches, pin together up each side of the
back middle and around the neck hole. Then pin together around both armholes. Make sure that the bodice
ties are folded up inside the bodice, so that they do not get caught in the arm seams.

7. Sew together along the pinned edges, stopping at the marked notches on the bodice back. Trim off ½ of the
seam allowance. Clip the corners and cut small triangle notches into the curved edges or trim with pinking
shears. Do not trim the seam allowance below the notches. Turn the bodice right side out and iron flat. Do not
top stitch at this time.
8. Iron under the remaining seam allowance below the notch on the bodice back. To do this, flip up the bodice
back lining and iron in the ½” seam allowance under the notch of both the bodice main and the bodice lining.
Set aside.

9. Fold the bodice back elastic panel in half lengthwise, with the wrong sides touching and the raw edges
lining up. Iron flat.
10. On the back side of the elastic panel, measure ¾” down from the top fold and mark a line with sewing
chalk or a disappearing pen. Measure from the bottom raw edge ¾” and mark another line. Mark a third line
¾” up from the bottom line. Sew right along each line to make the elastic casings. NOTE: Spacing between
the top and bottom casings may vary from the photo depending on size.

11. Insert the elastic from the chart on page #13 into the top and the bottom casings. There will be a space
between the elastic casings.
12. Line up the elastic with the raw edge of the bodice back elastic panel and pin to secure. Pull the elastic
through to the opposite side and pin to secure. Baste along both edges using ¼” seam allowance to hold the
elastic in place.

13. Place the bodice back face down with the lining facing up. Fold the lining up to expose the wrong side of
the bodice back main. Place the bodice back elastic panel piece on top of the bodice back main with the
bottom raw edges lining up. Adjust the bodice back main piece until the raw edges of the fold line up with the
raw side edges of the bodice back elastic panel. Pin to secure. Baste in place. When basting the bodice back
elastic panel to the bodice back, unfold the back so that you are basting through the seam allowance that is
folded over, and not the main side of the bodice back.
14. Flip the lining back down and fold the ironed edges of the bodice lining over the raw edges of the bodice
back elastic panel to enclose them. Pin to secure. Flip over and top stitch to secure the back bodice lining,
elastic panel, and back bodice main together. Continue top stitching along the back and neck if desired.
Remove the basting stitches from step #13 if they are visible.

15. Finish the side seams by placing the bodice front and back sides together with the right sides touching
and the raw edges lining up. Pin the main fabrics together. Then open up the main fabric and pin the
lining together. Line up the two pieces along the underarm seams. (This is a narrow piece, so take your
time pinning and sewing.) Sew along the pinned seam. Trim off ½ of the seam allowance and iron the
seams flat. Repeat for the opposite side, iron flat and set aside.

Creating the Paneled Skirt: (To create the Simple Skirt, please skip down to step #22.)
16. Place one pocket and one pocket lining together with the right sides touching and raw edges lining up.
Pin together along the two straight sides, which are the top and the bottom. Sew along the pinned seams.
NOTE: Do not sew along the two angled edges.

17. Trim off ½ of the seam allowance and turn the pocket right side out. Before ironing the seams flat, roll the
lining about 1/8”-¼” up along the long top edge to create the look of piping. The main fabric of the pocket
will show on the bottom of the lining side of the pocket, but this will be caught in the seam allowance. Top
stitch the top edge of the pocket, if desired.
NOTE: If you prefer to not have the lining show, simply iron the seams flat as normal.

18. Place one pocket on top of one skirt front side piece, with the lining touching the right side of the skirt
front side. Line up the top of the pocket with the notches on the skirt front side piece. If you used the
measurement chart, use the chart below to determine pocket placement. Pin the sides of the top of the pocket.
With the pocket lying flat, pin the edge of the bottom of the pocket to the skirt front side piece. Baste along
the pinned seams using ¼” seam allowance. Repeat for the remaining pocket and skirt front side piece.
NOTE: The top edge of the pocket is wider than the skirt panel. This allows the pocket to stay open
once sewn.

19. Lay the skirt front sides next to each other and make sure both pockets are reasonably aligned with each
other.
20. Sew the pocket to the skirt front side piece along the bottom (narrow straight edge) of the pocket. Now,
baste the side edges of the pocket to the skirt front. Line up the side edges of the pocket with the side edges of
the skirt front side piece. This will cause the pocket to bubble out in the center.

Creating the Front Skirt:
21. Place the skirt front side pieces on top of the skirt front center piece with the right sides touching and
the raw edges lining up. NOTE: Make sure the pockets are facing the same direction. Pin together
along both of the side seams. Sew together along the pinned seams. This is now the skirt front piece. For a
professional look, finish the seams with a serger or trim off ½ of the seam allowance and finish with a
zigzag stitch. Iron the seams flat and away from the side panel. Top stitch if desired.

Continue here for both options:
22. Place the skirt front piece and the skirt back piece together with the right sides touching and the raw edges
lining up. Pin together along both side seams. Sew together along the pinned seams. For a professional look,
finish the seams with a serger or trim off ½ of the seam allowance and finish with a zigzag stitch. Iron the
seams flat.
23. Hem the bottom raw edge of the skirt. To hem, turn the fabric ½” up and iron. Then, turn up another ½”,
and iron. Sew the hem.
24. Sew two rows of gathering stitches along the top raw edge of the skirt at a ¼” and 3/8” seam allowance.
Using two rows will make gathering easier and more uniform. Gather the skirt up until the skirt is the same
width around as the bodice.

25. Place the bodice (facing right side out) inside of the skirt (facing wrong side out) with the right sides
touching and the raw edges lining up. Match up the side seams and pin to secure. Pin the rest of the bodice and
skirt all the way around, adjusting the skirt gathers as necessary. NOTE: The bodice back elastic panel will
need to pulled straight while attaching the skirt. Sew slowly and take your time.
NOTE: If you are using the paneled front skirt, ensure that the side panels are gathered evenly on each
side of the front center. The side panels should be gathered to approximately ½ the width of the front
center panel.
26. Sew together along the pinned seam. For a professional look, finish the seam with a serger or trim off ½ of
the seam allowance and finish with a zigzag stitch. Iron the seams flat towards the bodice. Turn the dress right
side out topstitch right above the seam.
