This dress has been a wee while in the coming. It is the Sew Sweet Brooklyn dress. At the first pass it didn’t go together at all as I wanted and I all but threw in the towel. But the pattern kept calling to me. That neckline, those ties. The sleeves. the whole style of this pattern is a delight.
So I persevered. The pockets are an addition of my own, because. you know. Kids and pockets. It is a sz5 and pretty big on her. I altered the gathering a little, pushing more gathers to the back and front and leaving the sides only lightly gathered as the ties gather it themselves. It will last for ages yet looks good now – which is an awesome win win.
Madam got home from kindy today and her first words were ‘is my dress finished?’ She was delighted and wore it straight away. So that’s a bonus. There will certainly be more of those. Perhaps a shorter sleeved version for our holiday?
I love all about this dress!!!
thank you 🙂
Love this dress! And what great pockets too. I think shorter sleeves and longer length for a little person’s version of a maxi dress could work well for a holiday?
Ooh that is a wonderful idea!
It’s adorable, and I love the fabric.
thank you, i’m very relieved she liked it as it wasn’t the quick and easy sew up I had imagined!!
