YES!
Were the instructions easy to follow? I didn't use them.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? Kayla loved this pattern and she even picked out the fabric!
Fabric Used:Cotton from Gorgeous Fabrics

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I made it longer per Kayla's request. She wanted to make sure it would "twirl" perfectly lol.
I used ribbon instead of fabric for the sash. Kayla thought the polka dot would be the "perfect" touch lol.
I decided since the print was so busy to use bias tape along the hem, sleeves and neckline to kinda break it up a bit.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? This is a good basic dress pattern. I'll make it again if she wants me too. I do however recommend it.
Conclusion: Great basic dress pattern.
OMG, Kayla finally got her dress. doing a little happy dance for her.
It is quite pretty

Even before I read your review, my first thought was that you have such a great eye for fabrics that go together. Beautiful girl, beautiful dress. I am so proud of her modesty. You and Tony are raising them right.

Adorable! And your daughter was right - the polka dot ribbon is perfect!

This is so nice and I love the colors! The bias tape really breaks up the print and gives a nice finished look.
She is a cutie-pie!

love it! so nice to see little girls dress like little girls and not women!! it's so special that she got to help and pick out the fabric- she did a great job!

Cute dress! I love Kayla's embracing of mixing patterns. Very fashion forward. Has she been reading Vogue & Elle lately? LOL! I agree with Lisa, I love to see a little girl dressed appropriately. And she wanted it longer and not shorter? Classy little lady right there.
