What advice would you give someone starting this project?

DON'T EVER GIVE A LITTLE GIRL A PENCIL SKIRT. She ripped that thing so many times playing on the nearby playground. Now I know why they don't sell them for little girls. Initially I was just going to give her a nice circle skirt, but she insisted on looking like us.

Beautiful! I was just telling my little sis about the bombshell dress and how it would be great as bridesmaid dresses for her wedding (and not the horrid can only wear once dress!). I'll be sending her a link to your project to convince her to go this route. Great job!

So cute! Hard to believe they were stitched at home! They look professional and fit great!

I was considering doing my dress in this color for the first one. I have another more expensive fabric I want to do it in as well but its a discontinued fabric. I think I will make a blue one first. These came out amazing.

Those are gorgeous! Perfect shade of blue. Are you one of the bridesmaids, the bride, or neither?

My cousin was lucky at Fabricland, we found her perfect color. I'm the one with the long strand necklace, Thanks for the props!
