The BABY COS dress has a boxy bodice combined with a gathered skirt, making the design simple and inspiring for many variations and hacks. Version A follows the idea of the original design inspiration with a large Peter Pan collar finished with facings and a boxy dartless bodice, puffed sleeves, knee-length gathered skirt, and pockets. Version B is collarless and has an elongated skirt for a dramatic, floor-sweeping maxi dress.

Fabric recommendations:
You can go full toddler with version A, with a crisp cotton or seersucker bodice and a contrasting stiff front bodice. Go wild with the front bodice, using quilting, embroidery, pleating, corduroy! Or keep it more subtle with version B in a light drapey fabric and matching bias binding. Or even sheer!
