Here is the pattern envelope. I left off the sash.

The dress turned out the perfect length and fit very well. John says this is the best dress I have made to date. I only had enough fabric to make one dress so I made it for Abby. I figure that the dress will get more wear if I make it for Abby because when she grows out of it, Kaylee will get to wear it.

Here is the top. It is hard to see the detail because the fabric is so busy but it is a criss-cross neckline with a ruffle. I don't know if you can see the print on the fabric but it is yellow with hot pink raspberries.

Here is the back of the dress. It has an invisible zipper. I love how it turned out.

Here is the pattern envelope. I love the look of these pants.

Here are their pants. And you ask where will they wear these? To the circus of course!

Kaylee's pants were too long when I got finished so I had to cut off some of the pant and re-attach the ruffle. The proportions aren't right but they still work. I bought Kaylee a shirt that had bows around the neckline but the day of the circus when I put it on it was huge!

Here are Abby's pants. These fit much better than Kaylee's pants. I took a red shirt and added some ruffled ribbon around the neckline.

For the hair bows I took ribbon and ran a wide stitch in one side then ruffled it. Then I rolled it into a rose.

Here is a picture of us at the circus.

Here is the pattern envelope. I didn't have enough fabric to make two dresses so I decided to shorten them and make them into matching shirts. I made the dress in the top right, the red one.

Here are the two girls together. The shirts actually ended up shorter than I thought they would.

Here is a close-up of the top. The sleeves are very full. Not sure if I like them. I have been doing more shirts lately and wanted to try these sleeves.

Here is Abby in her shirt. I do like the way this looks with a turtleneck under it.

Here is Kaylee in her shirt. I used a headband I had made to go with another dress. It matches almost perfectly.
