Oops! Too big, too big..


I'm not sure what I was thinking when I cut this dress out. It was meant for Alannah who is 9, but wears a girls size 12 (she's a tall one!) but I cut this out in a girls size 14.....oops!

I thought it may have been ok, but as soon as she tried it on - nope - just not going to work. Length was good, but sleeves/bodice/armholes are just too big.

Oh well...at least she has a nice summer dress for next year now...he he...live and learn.


 Now onto making her one that fits!

Made from Simplicity pattern #1895

    Lovely fabric, what a shame there is nothing you can do this year. I hope she'll wear it next year.
