Well, this dress was supposed to be for a co-worker’s daughter.  I tried to redraft a pattern for a larger size, but it still ended up a bit too small.  After I finished it, I put it on Anya to check the size and dang if it didn’t fit her.  It is supposed to be a size 6.  **sigh**

I will be making something similar soon, but haven’t had the energy (ambition??), yet.  At least it fits Anya!  Well, it’s a little long, but then she will be able to wear it for a few years.  Love that.

So, yes, it is another peasant dress design.  Getting sick of them yet??  I think it’s time to move on to some different styles now, but it is so easy to modify the bottom part that they are quick to sew up.  I added shirring to the sides to cinch it up a little bit.  I added a double ruffle to the bottom and the bottom ruffle is doubled up so it has a “bubble” feel to it.

I really like this fabric, too.  I like the color combination with the purple and reddish-pink. 

Now I will have to get back to the sewing room.  I made lots of stuff in February and one thing this month…I’m out of projects to share!  I’m hoping work will slow down enough so I can work on some projects again.
