I have been FLOORED by the number of you all who want a tutorial for a shirred bishop. FLOORED. I am so excited to let you know that the tutorial is complete and it is now available for download. You can purchase it over on this post.
Not convinced that you love this dress? Let me list a few of its attributes:
- Placket and button free (hello independent kiddos, they can put this one on by themselves!)
- Most sizes (up to size 5) can be made with only 1 yard of fabric.
- Use almost any weight of fabric-batiste, broadcloth, poly/cotton blends, knits, pique, etc.
If that doesn’t convince you, check out some sample garments below.
To find this tutorial without having to go through this blog post, simply click on the “Tutorials” section of the menu above and choose “Shirred Bishop Tutorial.” This file is available to be downloaded six times and can be done so from the email you receive or directly from the purchase page. Let me know if you need any help accessing it!
If you’re interested in either of these fabrics, I’ll link them up here. The floral fabric can be found here. The horse fabric can be found here. I typically buy my shirring elastic in bulk here. If you make one of these dresses please share your make with #shirredbishop or tag @dressthemdearly, I LOVE seeing what you’ve made :).

Hi – Love the dress. Can you tell me the size range of your pattern, please? Thank you.

Hi! So this is not a pattern, it is to be used with a Bishop pattern that you already have. There are several options for those- I used a children’s corner bishop. I have an older version of that bishop that goes through a size seven. Hope that helps!

Thank you! I, too, have several bishop patterns. I’ll definitely check the sizing when I get back to my sewing room.

Just looked – I have the Ellen McCarn that goes up to a size 12. Waverly is a 6X, and she loves dresses. Thank you again!
