Flower Girl dress pattern, flowers in skirt?

I'm looking for a sewing pattern for a flowergirl dress. I really love those dresses that have the tulle/netting outerlayer with flowers on the inside. I know I remember seeing a pattern for it somewhere, but can't seem to find one anymore. Does anyone have a pattern number? Or know where I might be able to get a pattern for a dress like this? (between sizes 2-4) for children.

Check in the costume patterns for the designs if they don't have them in the regular dresses anymore. A lot of the fairy and princess dresses had the sandwiched flower design.





Basically it was tulle cut on the fold with the cut ends sewn into the waist and the back seam sewn closed. You added the flowers before the final sewing to get them inside the tulle pocket.
Reply:You can do this with any dress pattern, just cut the skirt out of fabric and tulle, and sew ready-made flowers to the skirt. All fabric and craft stores will have the flowers.





It's also fun to make your own flowers out of ribbon http://www.offray.com/106b.html





All the pattern books have flower girl dresses with a tulle overskirt, if you would like to have the instructions for working with tulle. Then you can just put the flowers on the skirt under the tulle.

Reply:any full skirted dress, make a base skirt of cotton or satin or taffeta, then start putting layers of tulle on it, about 3 layers, take silk flowers and sew some on the first layer over the regular fabric skirt, and some on the second layer over the fabric skirt, you can add bows and some pearls if you are ambitious.
