I finally made the jump from just making skirts, to making dresses too. I used an easy Simplicity pattern, and after aaaalll the cutting - pattern and fabric, I was ready to go. I made it a size 3, but when it was finished, and I tried it on L, it was WAY too big, more like a muu-muu! (see first photo) So I zipped up the sides, and shortened the hem, and now it fits much better. .(last photo) The neck and sleeves needed a little tightening up too. I added a little flower with ribbons to make it more fun and interesting. Thanks to my good friend and sewing buddy for all her inspiration and encouragement! I will be making more of these in the near future.

Gorgeous! First I need to put an order in for a baby girl and then I need to order one of these fine dresses! You are a very talented super mom.
