I've been doing a bit more sewing lately, especially now that my girl likes to wear dresses. This is her best summer dress, made from Vogue 7504. I got the plaid fabric from Elegant Stitches and it's beautiful -- clear, crisp, 100% cotton but not very wrinkly. The dark purple piping is actually the reverse side of the leftovers from a dress I made for myself more than 10 years ago.
This dress took forever to make because I was matching the plaid -- along the tuck lines, between the bodice pieces, etc. Other than that it was straightforward.
I love this dress because it's not pink and nothing about it says 2008 to me. The girl loves it because it's twirly.
