Hello! I got a bit of my sewing groove back. This is what I made last weekend, a 2T/90cm sized shirt dress.
I am thinking of adding a sash for this dress, do you think it needs one?
Box pleats at the back. The dress obviously needs a bit more ironing! :)
I applied pink ric rac on the edges of the collar, sleeves and pockets, they complement the fabric and look like half moons/dots. I also made a pleat on the pockets to match the box pleats at the back of the dress. The fabric is ‘City Girl’ by Kity Yoshida for Bernatex.
The pattern is from No. 14 and 17 of this ‘Simple + One’ Japanese pattern book. I merged both patterns together because I prefer the rounded collars and sleeves on the shirt dress. I prefer to dress my little one with sleeved dresses as she is bit on the tiny and skinny side.
My little 1 year 7 months couldn’t fit into this yet , {click here for the little model in the dress} actually she is only fitting well into the 1T/80cm Teddy Bear Dress I made for her a while ago.
Come on, eat and sleep more so you can grow more meat!
I am looking for Oliver + S Jump Rope Dress (cost prohibitive for me to purchase from where I live) and the Sugar City Village Frock (out of print) patterns, if you are reading and would like to do a pattern trade for my Japanese patterns(trace your pattern and snail mail to me and I will do the same for you), kind do leave me a message or email me. Thank you!
Oh how sweet! I love the polka dots, as well as the different colored buttons. And so many details with all the pleats and buttons...a really special dress for a special girl!

Hi, you do really beautiful work, thats a gorgeous dress. No, don't think it needs a sash cos its pretty straight, if flaired then yes.
ReplyDeleteI just saw this on the Grosgrain flickr group and clicked on over here. I love this dress. I would love to make this for my daughter.
ReplyDeleteYour shirt dress is lovely. The ricrac was a great trim to add. I think a sash would be fun.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it needs a sash, adorable as is!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your wonderful comments!! Actually I put the dress on the little model yesterday and I think it doesn't need a sash, do check out my next post for pics!
