Top 10 Plain Georgette Dresses for Little Girls

 

Pick up any plain fabric to create cute little dresses for your little girls. Below are some of the great designs of plain georgette dresses for little girls. 

1. Ruffle Dress with Balloon Sleeve



This small balloon sleeve will give a milkmaid look to your lass. The flair part is also differently cut in the umbrella with frills are the waistline and ruffles around the umbrella cutting. The bow finishes the look. This dress will also look great in crepe fabric. 

2. Frills and Ruffles Overload


This dress can be ideally made in about 3-4 meters for a 3-4-year-old. It is best to cut along the width of the fabric for the best frills. But if you are stitching for a bigger size, you should cut it along the length to get more frills at the waist. Pastel shades look best with this kind of small ruffle used on the neck and waist. 

3. Umbrella Cut Flair with Small Flat Frills

Cute little frills on the neckline and bottom flair can elevate the beauty of any dress. The pattern will look great on cotton fabric too. If you are looking for an elegant party-wear silk frock/gown for your little one, try making this pattern on soft silk or muslin silk fabric. 


ProTip: While working on frills and ruffles with georgette - make sure you cut the pieces and join them together. Pico the edges using a pico sewing machine foot. This makes it easier to attach all the pieces in one go. 

4. One Shoulder Pleated Neckline Frilled Frock

Kids look gorgeous in simple dresses. Sleeveless and one-shoulder dresses can keep them comfortable all day long, regardless of the heat. While doing any one-shoulder dress, try to accentuate the neckline with any pattern. In the above dress, pleated ruffles are used. Double the fabric and inlay with lining or soft fusing if required. For single-shoulder dresses, a side zip would be more suitable than a back zip. Stitch it to the exact fitting so that it doesn't look loose. 

5. High Neck Frilled Yoke 3/4 Sleeve Frock

This yoke-cutting pattern is now popular in adult dress patterns too. The high neck gives a sophisticated look. Use a button punching machine, or get it punched from a nearby store to give the central buttons. You can also pick up some matching handworked buttons to accessorize the dress. Slight balloon sleeves or cuff sleeves go well with this look. 

6. Asymmetric Beach Dress


Kids would love this beach-look dress as they are the most comfortable with the spaghetti strap. They are the best for a simple outing or quick wear. Keep the length at least 3-4 inches above the ankle to allow easy movement. The flair portion can be cut in an umbrella or straight cut as preferred. Create the frills at the yoke by thread pulling method and then add a loose stitch to hold it in place. place it over your cut lining and stitch the frills in place. Voila!! your frilled yoke is done. 

7. High Cut With Short Sleeve

The different in this is that the yoke cuts high above. This kind of cutting makes sure that the dress flows right from the chest portion. Also the frills have to be pico at the top end. join the frilled below and any dress looks good in white. You can but these kind of simple jacquard dot georgette for about 120-150/meter. 

8. Off Shoulder Lace Dress


If you plan to stitch some simple single-color dresses, find laces and stack them up. You can use it according to your imagination. This is an umbrella cut flair with lace added to the end. lace alone has been used on the off-shoulder. But for a better hold, you can also place the lace over the fabric. You can also give piping over the lace to get a better hold. 

9. Intricately Ruffled Cute Frock 

Thick ruffled frock standing right above the knee will give a fairy tale look to the little one. Do not make it too thick. Cut the pieces together and check how it looks after adding the frills. The topmost frill layer will have to picoed to get the impact. Create a bow to accessorize the plain look. 

10. A-line Single Piece Dress 


Single A-line dress with simple soft frills at the end and a frilled collar neckline. Use some embroidery elements at the neck to beautifully it as a bridesmaid dress. 

Why is it all ruffles and frills? These are the simple elements that you can add to a little girl's dress while working on a single fabric. Georgette fabrics are the best suited for this type as it is flowy. You can also use net fabric, but try to choose soft net fabric and work on tight ruffles while working with the net as it will give a lovely look to your dress.
