Step back into sweet 1950s charm with McCall’s 2153, a delightful vintage sewing pattern for a toddler’s smocked or gathered dress and matching bonnet. This “Instant Dress” pattern is designed for easy assembly with classic heirloom style.
The dress features delicate lace edging, a soft Peter Pan collar, and puffed sleeves with matching smocking at the top to mirror the bodice design. The smocking is worked in six-strand embroidery floss for a beautifully textured, hand-finished look. The back of the bodice is also gently gathered, and a ribbon tie at the waist finishes with a lovely bow.
The matching bonnet is just as charming, complete with lining, interfacing, lace edging, and a ribbon tie under the chin. This set is as perfect for special occasions as it is for treasured keepsakes or vintage-inspired photo sessions.
Whether you choose to smock or gather, McCall’s 2153 offers timeless beauty, easy-to-follow instructions, and sweet handmade style for your little one.
