she wears the dress




Can a girl be tomboy so young? I love making dresses and up until the lately, she has been okay with wearing dresses. But, as of late, it's "no dress." Well, once I got it on her, she loved it. I guess I'll just have to push a little until she realizes that she likes it!! I know I liked it on her. I also looked through my husbands closet for some more shirts. There are only a few that don't have front chest pockets. I think it makes it easier without the pocket, but you could always turn the dress around, put the buttons on the back and have the pocket in the back too. Or just unpick the pocket and see what you are left with underneath!

    Seriously too cute! Does the pocket end up too far over? It's hard to tell where on the shirt would have to be cut from the picture. I was thinking a pocket would be perfect for holding treasures :)

    She looks adorable.
    And I'm so glad you posted pictures of the dress on....because I'm IN the process of making mine now! It's nice to see more pics of what I'm trying to do :). I hope it looks as great as yours!

    How did you go about doing this? Did you use a pattern over the dress somehow? Thanks!

    love it, I made a top for my daughter out of my hubbies old shirt, too stinkin' cute. Of course she's already outgrown it.

    I made it with the pocket. I took it off then moved it to the bottom so that she could use it! Super cute!!
