I'm very excited about this one :)
It's a sweet & feminine summer dress for special days or just when your dolly wants to feel special!
Inspired by a unique 1950's sundress worn by Marilyn Monroe, I reinterpreted it into a style for little girls.
Full, gathered bodice in 2 versions (Empire waist & natural waist)
Twirly circle skirt, slightly fitted at waist
Includes Options for a full straight-cut skirt OR tiered skirt!
Narrow waistband
Shoulder straps are customizable.
Lined bodice,
Optional ruffle at hem makes skirt flare out even more.
Many embellishment ideas! Use lace, piping, ribbons, etc...
Includes Design options

I have been surrounded by crafting all my life. Like so many, my mom & grandmother always had busy hands & loved to create. I have that same "bug" as do my kids :)
I began sewing when my daughter was born, inspired to make pretty, girly things. Other than that, I am always looking for a new technique, style, or object of fancy!
