I make them. I have 5 granddaughters that I sew for and this is a favorite. I have also sold them. I have made my own pattern and bought patterns. I did one just the other day for my 2 1/2 yr. old granddaughter and did use bias on the arm holes. I think it made it a little nicer. I also have used grograin ribbon, made the tie from the dress fabric and have also put elastic in the front and back casing then attached the ribbon on the end of the elastic then stitched the elastic down. I have used two pieces of ribbon and tied it on the shoulders and also have used 1 piece of ribbion and just tied it on one side. Any question pm me.
