Here, we are not using lining for a baby frock for easy understanding. We will be attaching cross piping for the neckline & armhole to secure the edges and straight strip for making a button placket on the backside.

For bottom flare we will make a simple gathering, so let's start making a 2-year-old baby frock.

Measurement (in inches) :

Chest : 21
Waist-length : 7.5
Full length: 19

Or

Take the desired measurement and make the draft according to the below method:

Front & Back side pattern making:

Cloth Required:

For this measurement, we will take the cloth measuring 30 in x 8.5 in, fold the cloth width-wise in 4 layers measuring 7.5 x 8.5.

0-1 = waist length = 7.5
0-2 = 1/4 chest - 1/2 inch = 5.5 - 0.5 = 5
2-3 = 1/4 chest + 1 inch = 5.5 + 1 = 6.5
1-12 = 2-3 - 0.5 = 6.5 - 0.5 = 6 (optional for kids)
0-4 = 1/6 chest = 3.5
0-4 = 2-5
0-6 = 1/12 chest = 1.75
0-7 = 1 inch
4-9 = 1/2 inch
Join 6-9
Join 9-3 in armhole shape
Join 7-6 in neck shape

Seam Allowance :

0.25 inch for neckline & armhole.
0.5 inch for shoulder & waist (top & bottom)
1 inch for side seam

Cutting Line :

7-6-9-3-12-1

Now we have 2 pieces of a body part, one for the front and one for the back. Take one piece for front-side pattern drafting.

Front Side Pattern Making :

6-8 = 1/12 chest + 1 = 1.75 + 1 = 2.75
10 = mid point of 9-5
10-11 = 0.5
Join 6-8 in neckline shape
Join 9-11-3 in armhole shape

Cutting Line :

8-6 in neckline shape
9-11-3 in armhole shape

Bottom flare pattern making:

Cloth Required :

For front and back flare we will take fabric measuring 48 x 11.5 (Final Cutting Size)
We will fold the fabric into 2 layers, i.e. 13 x 13 inches (including Seam allowance)

Bottom Flare Measurement :

0-1 = Full length - waist length = 19 - 7.5 = 11.5

0-2 = double the size of waist width i.e.12 inches

Seam allowance :

0.5 inches on top
1 inch for bottom & sides

Cutting line :

0-2-3-1

How to cut Neckline and Armhole Cross Strips:

To secure the edges of the neckline and armhole, we will be required to cut and attach cross strips to them.

Cut the cross strips measuring 0.5 inches.

Join the cross strips together.

Measure the Neckline and armhole and then cut the strips accordingly.

How to cut the Button Placket:

Note: Cut the Button Placket After Sewing Armhole, Neckline Strips also after joining the Bottom flare.

Cut the 1-inch width straight strip for the Button placket, size would be =

Length of backside opening + 2-inch cut in a bottom flare + 0.1 inches for securing the end of the strip.

Sewing Method:

Sew shoulders holding the Right-sided together.

Sew the armhole strip holding the Right sides together at the 0.2-inch seam allowance.

Fold the strip towards the wrong side and sew from the Right side.

Now attach the Neckline Strip to the Neck holding the Right sides together. The seam allowance would be 0.2 inches. 

Fold the strip to the wrong side and sew from the Right side.

Sew the sides of the body part with a 1-inch seam allowance.

Sew the side of the bottom flare on the wrong side holding the fabric length-wise, leaving 2 inches for the button placket.

Secure the bottom side of the flare by double folding on the wrong side with a seam allowance of 0.25 inches and 0.75 inches respectively.

Sew long stitches on top of the flare and adjust the bottom flare size equal to the width of the waist.

Attach the bottom flare to the body part. Note: Start sewing from one of the backside button placket openings.

Place the button placket strip on the cut of the backside, with the Right side together.

Sew the strip with a 0.1-inch seam allowance.
