Who doesn’t dream of an island vacation? This adorable little dress, by FROG Princess Fashions, fits the bill for any activity in a tropical paradise! The fit and flare style features godets in the skirt that can be of matching or contrasting fabric, and ruffles at the shoulders that can also be made of gathered lace. As I was stitching this up, I chose to work with shades of fabric that complement the lovely aqua waters of Waikiki, but, of course, you could use any colors, including white. And be sure to check out all the design ideas on the "From the Designer's Desk" page!
Use the free Hibiscus machine embroidery design to embellish your Waikiki Waves Dress!
This pattern also comes sized to fit 18" dolls such as American Girl®.
