Style: Classic, Holiday, Traditional, Whimsical, Cute


Materials

blue and white gingham check, white cotton fabric, zipper, buttons

What was your inspiration?

both my younger grand daughteres as obsessed with the Wizard of Oz, they've seen the movie dozens of times and 2 theatre productions, i promised them i would make each of them a costume from the movie, Bree wanted to be Dorothy, she certainly looked the part!!

What are you most proud of?

that it turned out so close to the original in the movie, not for a novice sewer, but it certainly made my grand daughter happy!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

leave enough time for the project, since it is more complex than it actually looks!

Well, your granddaughter is beautiful & the outfit right on. It looks as tho you took it right out of the movie. You did a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing.

i'll admit to being surprised just how exact this pattern was to the original, took a lot more time, but Bree is my perfectionist, so she was in 7th heaven!!
