Annaliese has grown like crazy since last year and the dress was too short. Plenty big around, but the bodice was too high and the bottom of the dress was above her knee. So I decided to chop off the bodice, create a waistband and make it a skirt. Now it hangs below her knee and she can continue to enjoy it. Of course she needed a coordinating shirt, so I asked Mom to send me scraps from the ruffle material and I appliqued a flower.
The flower design is from the Bloomin' Applique set from Designs by JuJu.
Here's my pretty girl, all ready for kindergarten orientation!
You guys would have done well living on the frontier! :)
ReplyDeleteHow very resourceful of you.
She looks beautiful and so grown up! I hope you have a wonderful orientation -- and I can't wait to see what first day of school outfit you all have cooked up!
ReplyDeleteShe looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIt's so sad when you grow out of clothes you love... way to go making hers last longer!
