Portobellapixie Claire Pattern

    Having just read that the sizes run small and that there is possibly an error in the amounts required for the knot dress I am worried!

    I would be making the dress for a 1yr old and it says view B needs 1/3 material. The person who made a size 5 said she needed 1yd and it said 1/2yd. So I assume I need 2/3yd. I haven't got the pattern yet but the seller said she thought you needed 2 lots of the 1/3 as the skirt is in 2 materials. Can anyone confirm or give any feedback on sizes for a 1yr old very average child (so far anyway!)

    I have to order all my fabric in from US (I'm in Australia) so I want to be sure I have enough!

      I made the dress for my daughter in a size 2, but I don't remember how much fabric I used. I always buy more so I suggest that you buy 2/3 yard.
      If you have extra, you could always use it for accessories, i.e headband, flower brooch, etc...

      ps- I did take a look online to see if I could find another review with a similar yardage complaint, but only found the same one you mentioned.
