Simplicity 2376

Here is the pattern envelope. I used the yellow dress.

Here are both girls. I didn't have enough fabric to make two dresses, so Kaylee got a skirt.

Here is Abby in her dress. I love the color. It is actually longer than it looks in this picture. Abby wanted to hold up her dress.

Kaylee's skirt took me 30 minutes to cut and sew. I barely had enough fabric to make the skirt so it isn't very full.

Here is a close-up of the collar. I love the ruffle around the yoke. It was pretty easy.

And of course here is the back view. I used an invisible zipper and it went in really easily!

Here is the pattern envelope I used. I used the pink dress as my pattern.

Here is Kaylee in her dress. I actually made this dress a few months before Easter and Kaylee's dress ended up being really big on her. I had to take up each layer just to make it short enough for her.

Here is Abby's dress. Her dress fit perfectly!

Here are the girls together. I actually wanted the dresses to be exactly the same but I didn't have enough fabric to do that so I had to change my plans. I love how they look the same but different.

Here are the backs of the dress. I loved making these because there was no zipper to put in.

And of course these dresses were perfect for twirling!

Birthday Skirts

Here is a picture of the girls in their birthday skirts. Ignore Kaylee's face. She didn't want her picture taken!

The skirts were fairly easy. I found a tutorial online that I followed.

Kaylee's skirt is a little short but she loved twirling around in it. I wanted to add an applique to the shirt but didn't know what the weather would be like and then I ran out of time.

The skirt is a circle skirt with a underskirt under it to make it fuller. The ruffle at the bottom took forever!
