I really should have posted this weeks ago, but I have been really busy getting myself on track while my beautiful and VERY energetic daughter is home with me all day during the summer.
Well the night of her graduation I wanted to give her a very special gift of a new dress. I first saw it on the blog for Above All Fabric and then it was offered as a kit! Score! I had intended it to be a birthday gift (back in April), but I stay busy, so unfortunately I didn't get to it until May, but it was DEFINITELY worth the wait! Samantha LOVED it! She loved it so much she begged me to wear it 2 more times in the same week!
This dress was definitely a bit of a challenge and not because of the yards and yards of ruffles, but because the directions were very general and the pattern layout does not include seam allowance, thereby creating a lot of extra work for Wendy! There was a great blog post to help with this pattern. Once I got the hang of it I now want to make MORE and MORE so I'm settling for making her a Christmas dress. If anyone has any ideas for fabric I'm all ears b/c I'm stumped.
