I made the same dress, Simplicity 2063 from the Little Lisette collection by Liesl Gibson, twice over the holidays.
This dress is finished with bias tape at the arms.
This time I made the size 5, but otherwise, it’s pretty much the same dress as I made previously. Same super soft corduroy, same colourful piping, this time in red and grey.
I really like the red piping.
It’s a nice simple pattern that makes a really cute dress. This one was so popular that no one would sit still for a photo shoot.
These buttons were in a mystery button jar.

I think I’ve had this pattern (Simplicity 2063 from the Little Lisette collection by Liesl Gibson) in my stash for ages, but I was looking for just the right fabric.
The fabric is amazing. It’s corduroy, but it’s very soft, almost like velour.
Then I found this cute corduroy online. It’s super soft. The fabric is light-weight but it feels almost like velour. Perfect for little ones.
Lately I’ve been making a lot of lined dresses, but this is finished with piping and bias tape.
The pattern is quite simple. It’s an a-line, panel dress with flat piping to set off the panels. It wasn’t difficult. The instructions were good. The bodice is finished with bias tape at the arms, but I think I might prefer a lined bodice next time.
The a-line shape is really flattering.
I didn’t make any changes to the pattern. I just followed the pattern instructions.
I made the size 3, which should be a little big, but the fit on the dress is just right.
My youngest is growing so fast that it’s hard to keep up. I made the smallest size, size 3, and hoped it wouldn’t be too big, but it seems just right. Good thing I didn’t try to grade it down a size.
I really like the flat piping on this dress.
There always seem to be so many events to attend over the holidays, so a new dress is always handy for the kids, especially when it is as cute and comfortable as this one.
