Toddler Dress and Bonnet McCALL 1527 Vintage Sewing Pattern

McCall 1527 is a precious vintage sewing pattern for making a toddler’s dress and matching bonnet, ideal for special occasions, portraits, or heirloom sewing. The design features an empire-style dress with puffed sleeves, a delicate lace ruffle trim, and a button-back closure. The dress also includes a classic collar and hand embroidery details, showcasing charming rosebuds, leaves, and stems made with six-strand cotton thread using simple stitches like the rambler rose, lazy-daisy, and outline.

The matching bonnet is designed in a button-on brim style and features a top ribbon accent and a wide ribbon tie beneath the chin. Both the dress and bonnet are decorated with embroidery, and View A and View B incorporate lace edging for an especially dainty effect. For View B, insertion lace adds a delicate, heirloom-quality finish. This pattern captures the timeless beauty of mid-century children’s wear and is perfect for creating a sweet, handcrafted outfit for a toddler girl.
