• "The Peppermint Swirl Dress has been a favorite of my daughter's since I sewed her one age 2. She is now 11 and was sad when she outgrew the children's sizing. I love how easy Candy Castle Patterns sew up and we were both thrilled to see the extended sizing on this add-on! My daughter loved how the stripes looked with the continuous bodice and she is happy to be twirling again in another swirl dress." — Mandy.
