Floral Dress

This little floral dress is one of my favorite dresses I've made for Anna! I love the peter pan collar, pleated sleeves, and button placket on the back. It fits her so well and I love the floral pattern and colors of the fabric. I used my own pattern and it is a really great fit.
I'm linking this up to Family Ever After's Sew-vivor Challenge and I'm excited about it! I would love to be able to participate and challenge myself a little bit in my sewing! And let's be honest, the prize packages are awesome and would totally help me stock up on fabric before our move to England at the end of the summer!

    That is such a cute dress. Did you make up the pattern? If not, what pattern did you use? I would love to sew one of these for my little girl. I love it!!

      I made up my own pattern... just a basic tank pattern, then added sleeves, collar, and gathered skirt. I didn't end up drawing anything out or making final pattern pieces, so I can't share. I'm sorry! Good luck!

      I'm sorry, I don't! I rarely even draw out paper patterns for what I make, and I usually just fit things as I go along. Thanks for the interest, though! :)
