Yep, sewing for a girl is very different than sewing for boys…
This dress basically the same pattern as the dress I made here but it has been a bit refined and simplified and the beautiful colours are really what make this dress so stunning!
(front and back)
What I really love about this pattern is because of the tie in back, the bodice can be made a bit big and still fit months down the road… I love functionality of clothes that can grow with the child!! Wilhelmina can still wear her owl dress and her mushroom dress easily though the skirt is now a bit short which just makes it look more like a tunic instead of a dress… the biggest change that I made to this new dress besides making the skirt longer, was also to make it a bit fuller because I love the look of a full skirt…
I love having my daughter wear handmade clothes…
I’m the same way, I just love when my daughter is dressed in something I made for her. It’s like wrapping her in love.
Great little dress. It is so summery and fun! and I agree the full skirt is really cute.
She’s a lucky little girl to have such a talented Mom! Sweet dress.
