DUBLIN baby vest and dress PDF pattern
Dublin is a pattern for a unisex baby cardigan and dress. The garment is fully lined and therefore reversible. It can be fastened in three different ways: with a tab and button/snap fastener, a simple button/snap fastener, or a tie. Several options are available: a kimono-style neckline, a gathered basque, and a loose-fitting dress with gathered skirts.
A crossover vest that's easy to put on when the temperatures cool down.
