Sewing pattern for an Empire / Regency era girl’s dress. 1810-1820s girl’s dresses were cut like adult styles except the bodice had little or no fullness. Dress buttons at back and features small puff sleeves. Making tucks above the seamline allows the dress to grow a bit with the young lady wearing it.
