Sewing Feliz

I finally did it, I traced the pattern and started sewing it. Not sure why I waited sooo long to do it. It's a day project with kidlet interuptions.

I started off by making a 98/104. which would fit, and be a little big. But I should have read and if I did, I would have seen that it would fit a 24" chest. There's no way Miss Mad has a 24" chest. She's barely 20". For the first dress, I used some fabric from a Sewingmama, littlewillow. I didn't have enough fabric to make the straps the length they were suppose to be, but they work.

At least I know that she'll be able to wear this dress for a long time. :)

Here's the back of the dress with all of it's ruffles.

Since this one came out so big, I thought I'd try it again and this time work with the smallest size 86/92. I didn't include seam allowances, thinking it would fit better. It's still big in the chest. and the length is almost too short. Don't ask about the fabric combo. she picked it out. and being 3.5, well I guess you can wear whatchya want to wear and it doesn't matter. Just not the combo I would have choosen, ya know.
