I'm happy to report to you that I finished the smocked dresses this afternoon and will deliver them to my daughter tomorrow afternoon. The baby shower is next Saturday. I always make smocked dresses in size two or three so that they can hopefully be worn more than once. Too much work goes into making them to make them in a size that a child will outgrow very quickly.
The pattern I used is McCall's #3531 in size 3. I used view D and added pieces to the smocking insert and then cut out the yoke. Also, I added the ties in the back because I like that look.
These are wonderful!!! As always you've created beautiful pieces.
ReplyDeleteGita, wonderful! The fabric is adorable, and your incredible smocking carries the theme perfectly. Lucky little girls!
