DRESS FINISHED.

Hope I am not boring you all to death but I know there are a couple of Cuties that would like to see the finished result. I found out that I had cut the skirt too short - hence the border. I actually think the border has given the dress a lift.
Thank you Chris (pennifold) for all your help and suggestions. Sarah.

I agree that the band breaks up all that tiny print and makes it more readable. Can't wait to see it on her.

I love the dress and the bottom border is the finishing touch. I enjoy seeing finished projects-not boring at all.

It looks beautiful with the addition of the red hem band. When Plan A doesn't work we go to Plan B. Now, if you have any fabric leftover, her doll would probably like to have a matching dress. LOL

Aha! Sarah, this is just what it needed. Well done you!!!! I love the idea of securing the belt with the button in the centre front too. This will look beautiful on Georgie and tell her from me that our girls wear dresses like this and get lots of comments on how beautiful they look. I've said it many times before little girls look gorgeous in pretty dresses - very feminine. Now you've done one, you'll have to make more! They are easy aren't they? Once again well done it's simply stunning. Love Chris

Thank you Chris. I still cannot believe that I managed to get the material right here. I also have enough to make another band if Georgie has a growth spurt. Hopefully we night even get a picture of Georgie wearing it!! I now wait to see if it fits, then I think I will make another one with a square neck and embroider the bodice. Thank you for all your help.

You may have been forced to make changes,for the length,but the outcome is beautiful.Even tho the fabric was nice, the trim gives it a 'pop' or lift ,as you say.Very nice,Sarah and I for one,am glad you showed us.-Toogie
