Our Snappy Toddler Top Free pattern also works wonderfully as a Snappy Toddler Dress!
I used the pattern I printed out yesterday to make another version of the OG Snappy Toddler Top; a Snappy Toddler Dress! This time I went dress length and used contrasting fabric for the neck and the bias tape trim.
Get the Snappy Toddler Top (or dress) Pattern here and learn How to Make Bias Tape here. When you’re done, check out 25 Dress Tutorials for Babies & Toddlers (all free!).
I love your fabric choices! So cute!
Hi, when I have printed this out I can only get it as one A4 sheet. So I need to enlarge it on a photocopier but need a guide for correct size.
For the line which says place on fold, what length should it be?? Many thanks, Anna
What toddler doesn't LOVE midcentury chairs? Hendrix's first word was "Eames." Honestly I love it though.
that is darling! love the contrast of the fabrics.
I love this dress!
Darling! The fabrics are so charming.
I just love baby clothes in modern "adult" fabrics!
What a fun dress! The fabric is awesome! I like the snappy top as a dress.
What an adorable dress!
Gorgeous! Love the two prints together and how it makes the turquoise birdies pop!
I just used your pattern to make one of these yesterday for my little girl…so cute! Thank you for sharing!
I have also been adapting the shirt pattern into a dress. In fact, except for the first time, all others have been dress length. I love it!!!
You're killing me with the awesome bias tapes! I really don't need the maker, but I want one bad now 🙂 Love the chair fabric, too. Jealous.
I love this! Cute fabric choice!
Katie
I just adore this fabric and your color combinations. The dress is adorable, Best

awesome dress – but oilcloth?? whew – that stuff is awesome!
Damn- are you trying to get me to get knocked up again so I have a girl? Really adorable!
I love this pattern….my only problem is, will I make a top or a dress. Problem solved….I'll just have to make both. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
I love the way these bright little dresses look on my little girl in the summertime!
I may have to make this adorable piece even though I don't have a baby girl! Great for getting an early start on holiday gifts.
I so want a wee girl so I can make this for her! The fabrics are so cute!
Please, PLEASE tell me that your daughter is going to wear this to a "Mad Men" party on Sunday!!
love your patterns! any chance you'll be doing a tutorial on drafting your own patterns any time soon? I could really use some advice!
LOVE, Love, love that chair fabric. I need some. Such a cute dress pattern but my little girl is now a BIG girl :(.
I just bought a bias tape maker and have got to find time to try it out! How about you post directions for a snappy twenty-six-year-old dress?? That'd be great! I'd love it in this fabric…
loovee it… so cutee!!!
LOVE!!! I need to pull my machine out!!
Reason 1 million why I should just NOT sew… I love this dress so I finally decided to make it. This took a lot of courage as I'm terrified of making clothes. Everything was looking great so I sewed the front neck on and then the back, when I went to snap them together I realized that I sewed the back neck BACKWARDS!!!! Ok, now that I vented I better go pull out my seem ripper and hope it doesn't look too bad! 🙁
I cannot wait to make this dress! Now I need to go through my fabric stash and pick something. *Fingers crossed that I need to go fabric shopping*
How should i resize this to fit my daughter who wears size 3-6 mos?
Could you use satin? Normally I only use cotton, but I need to make my daughter a summer flower girl dress and this would be just adorable in the matching satin the ladies are wearing, and add hand made organza flowers to the neckline or make a sash out of a different color. All of your fantastic patterns have so many more uses, I LOVE them! Thank you!
OK, it's been a long time, but I'm going to share what I made. I didn't have bias tape so I used a small ribbon. I blogged about it. Check it out:

Hello! Thank you for sharing this pattern! I write from Italy and so I apologize for my English. I tried to make the dress for my daughter who is 8 months old.

Hello! I love this model … I’ve made three … I find it cool as well as comfortable … thank you! here is the link http://cosedikaty.blogspot.it/2013/09/piccole-modelle-crescono.html
Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell
and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put
the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit
crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants
to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell
someone!

I love this dress !
I loved this pattern. This was the first thing I made for my daughter, and it came out so nice!
I wanted to make another one for my niece who is a six 7, but when I print out the pattern without scaling it at an increased percentage, it only prints one page of the scaled up size. I can’t get the whole pattern printed, only one page of it. Has anyone dealt with this? Any solutions? Thanks in advance!
Hang in there until our book comes out, there might just be a sized pattern included 😉
Why would you put it on the website as a free pattern without fixing the printing issue. I was so excited to print this out and get started on it but it will only print one page and not the whole pattern.
