This enchanting rapunzel kids dress was inspired by a trip to Bavaria and Disney’s castle, Schloss Neuschwanstein. Sewn in Liberty Capel Tana Lawn with a liberty fairy tale feel, this girls costume gown uses Simplicity pattern 4764 with added lace and satin ribbon details. A wonderful childrens princess sewing project that brings storybook dress ideas to life.

Pattern: Simplicity 4764

After cutting out the front panel (piece No.1) I added a 4″ wide strip of Liberty Capel (held in place with Coccoina glue stick) then pinned satin ribbon in place (see pic 2 for spacing measurements) and stitched along both edges of ribbon. Then I stitched Lace to cover the edges of the Liberty strip and ribbon. I also added lace to the front edges of the overskirt and made the overskirt edges straight and the full length of the dress.
