Itty Bitty Dress, Take II (only not as Itty Bitty this time…)
UPDATED: After nearly 5 years, we are sorry to inform you that this pattern is no longer available in the larger size. So sorry for the inconvenience!
So I’m so excited to finally post about this — Amber has been kind enough to provide us with a toddler-sized version of the Itty Bitty Dress Pattern (and HOW CUTE IS THAT with the teeny tiny version and big sister version together in this picture???). The pattern is really very high-quality and impressive (Amber’s hubby is scoring significant points for help in the Adobe department!).
Amber says that the pattern is about a 3T, as she made it to fit her older daughter who currently wears a combination of 2T and 3T. Be sure to check out the free onesie patterns she has on her blog too!
I can’t wait to make my own version! Thanks so much, Amber!

Oh, I’m so excited! I’m all settled into my new house and just found my copy of the Itty Bitty dress pattern…this will be my project next week.
Too cute!
I need to learn to sew clothes!
So cute!
I just heard of you from a friend. You are my hero! A couple of years ago I thought of attempting to make some cloth dipes for myself but I finally said, NAH! You rock girlfriend. You make the rest of us girls feel like losers!
I guess I should have left my site: http://www.joeypocket.com
Thanks for posting this, Rae. And thanks for the original. I still can’t get over how cute it is in miniature size!
That is awesome!
Thanks to Rae and Amber, I have made itty bitty dresses for my 10 month old twins. I just took Amber’s pattern for a 2-3T and then copied it at 88% on a photocopier. Came out a perfect fit for 20 lb 10 month olds.
Thanks so much!
Hi! This is so adorable! I can’t seem to find the directions, though-the made by rae website doesn’t have it anymore–where can I find the directions and original pattern, too??
Thanks!
Is there still a way to get the pattern? Thank you!

Hi Rachel:
I’m sorry, I’m not sure what’s up with the pattern; I’ve noticed others are having trouble with it occasionally as well. Please check back and try to download it again later! Thanks! – Rae
[...] day 1, I made a dress using an upsized pattern from the website made-by-rae.com. The original size was a tiny dress, really cute, but meant for babies. SMALL babies. But Amber [...]
I LOVE this pattern and I so want to try it!! May I pin the pattern on Pinterest?
Yes it’s definitely fine to pin images from my blog on Pinterest! Thanks for asking!
Do you know if you you single or double bias it does not say on the instruction. Thant you
This pattern is so lovely! I recently made one for my new god-daughter. It’s still a little big for her, but luckily little girls tend to grow.
I did make a few changes along the way. You can see my version here:

I would really like to have this pattern, it’s so cute . Can you help by telling me how to get it. Thanks.
I am so happy I found this dress pattern! It’s lovely, and I was so glad for the resizing too. I made my own (in the larger size), but with a few little changes so that it’s fully reversible. I wrote a bit of a tutorial and have some pictures here:
… except the link didn’t show up? so I’m trying again: http://garretgirl.blogspot.com/2012/09/babies.html (oh internet…)
So cute! How do I get the pattern? I have 4 granddaughters I sew for and this would be too too cute.
I am not able to get the pattern either. It says page not found.
Would love to make it for my DD
