When you buy the book, a full-size Building Block Dress pattern is included in a nice little envelope at the back of the book. It’s printed on two large sheets of paper and includes sizes from six months all the way to twelve years. You’ll be able to sew a lot of dresses for a lot of children for a lot of years with the pattern.

The Building Block Dress is a typically well-drafted Oliver + S pattern. Even if you don’t make any alterations to it, it’s a pretty, classic dress style that you could enjoy sewing again and again.
