This is the first Oliver + S pattern I have attempted, the popular Jump Rope dress, many thanks to a lovely blog reader who offered to swap patterns with me.
Sewing the placket for the button holes was a big learning curve for me. Notice that I like to insert piping in all my dresses? Seriously, I am addicted. The tabs on the sleeves are a nice touch on the pattern. I wish this pattern is available in my size, if you know where to find a similar pattern in adult size, do leave me a message!

I made it in 2T size so it’s long on her now.
She was looking out for the neighbour’s dog…ooh..saw it!
“Mummy, Wooow wooow!” (that’s ‘dog’ in Cantonese)

The piping is a lovely touch. I'll have to remember that when I finally get around to sewing it.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen an Oliver & S pattern sewn up. This would go with the pink and green bedsheet dress I made for my teenager. You make the CUTEST dresses! Your little girl looks almost the same age as my youngest who is 26 months.
ReplyDeleteSuper adorable! I love this pattern too! I am just about to make another one and I will definitely be borrowing your piping idea! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!

Such a cute dress for an adorable little girl! I saw this on Flicr before, but hadn't noticed the piping-- lovely detail!
ReplyDeleteIt is SO cute!! I love the piping and the button placket. :) I heard that the Lisette series of patterns is by the same creator as Oliver and S, but designed for women's bodies. http://www.sewlisette.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=SL&Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=AP
