Description: Judith Marquis Formerly of Grace Knott Design Your Own Basic Yoke Dress By Judith Marquis formerly Grace Knott's Designer From 11 Lbs to 26 Lbs Design Your Own Basic Yoke DressThe term “classic” or “basic” yoke in smocking refers to a garment that has a horizontal seam across the front bodice, usually in the armhole area or just below. It traditionally has a collar, puff sleeves and smocking to the bottom of the armhole or to the waist. This style of smocked garment was popular in the 30’s and endures to this day.The back dress usually echoes the front, with the skirt gathered or smocked onto a yoke, back yoke buttoned to the end or to the waist and, often has a sash or button belt added. In this pattern, traditional styling has been offered as well as a few additional modern looks and variations to help you with your design such as the Tulip sleeves and shoulder ruffle.However, it also encourages you to take a leap and design your own garment. Mix and match different elements and suggestions in the “Designer in You” section to create a unique little dress, jumper, or pinafore. There are so many ways to be creative.Each step of the way through construction there are choices you can make, so, plan your garment accordingly with the aid of the ‘child’s body’ (croquis) on the pattern sheet to get the feel of your own design. This little tool will help you to record not only your new design but also make note of what notions you might need such as lace, coordinating fabric for lining or piping.Don’t forget the Whimsical Tulip Hat which was inspired by Cicely Mary Barker’s delightful fairy illustrations in her children’s books. There actually is a blue Scottish harebell flower which she used along with several other flowers, like tulips, as fairy hats in her illustrations. This little hat can be made to coordinate with your dress to complete an ensemble. Line it in a second fabric and make it reversible! Add a button topknot, contrast topstitching, embroidery, micro piping or a little Velcroed® chin strap. Again, so many choices.Infant Sizes: 3 mos./11 lbs.; 6 mos./14 lbs.; 12 mos./20 lbs.; 18 mos./26 lbs.
