Dress!

I used the pattern to the right along with this dress as the inspiration for a few modifications that I wanted added.

"getting the vision"

One of the hardest parts... planning it all out before cutting,

Measure 10 times, cut once :)

More "envisioning" the end product

Top of dress

Sleeve

Top complete!

Even fancy enough to have a lining!

The edges of the sleeves and gathered sleeves instead of elastic were diversions from the pattern that I added from the inspiration blog.

Coming together, deciding how much extra length to add to the skirt, my daughter is very tall.

Of course I had to whip out an extra bow. See how to make these here.

Back (complete!)

Sleeves up close (one of my favorite parts)

Front (Complete!)

Lining...

This was a really fun project. It went quite smoothly until the zipper in the back. Those things are quite the headache but by attempt #3 it was in and usable. I learned some good things along the way that will hopefully make next time easier.

Thanks for reading!
