Hi! I'm Larissa a homeschooling mom of two. With two kids at very different stages, homeschooling, and working, I am finding it harder and harder to research patterns that my tween will love. I saw this dress pop up for review and immediately thought it would be so cute in my Wee Wander border prints! I pulled my 11 year old over and asked her if she would wear it. I got a yes, and then she started mulling over fabrics......Until I suggested Wee Wander! She was sold. As I started sewing, she had one request...Not to much ruffles. I modified the ruffles by only gathering them how much my machine tension gathered, which was about half the length the pattern called for.
On to the details:
- Size chart included both shoulder to hem and chest size
- There is a chart to tell you exactly the pages you need to print for the front overlay/back facing piece
- easy to follow step by step directions with photos
The Dress came out super cute but unfortunately, we ran into two snags! First, it is too short for both her comfort level and our dress code. Second, the arms are a tad big, even though she fits right into the size 7/8 measurements. Next time, I will alter the arms and add to the length.
It is perfect for those border prints! I can't wait to make another!
