This is the Girls' 1958 Party Dress. I love your patterns they are so easy to use. My little girl turned 5 and wanted a new party dress, so this was the perfect dress for a party!

Here are several girls' day dresses from a 1904 fashion circular. When you view ladies' outfits from the same year, you can see how girls' things parallel what was available for women--just with shorter skirts. At this early date, the leg o'mutton sleeve was still hanging on from the 1890s, but mainly for younger girls.
