Ooops.

I had some lovely French cotton that I used to make this sweet little dress about a year ago.  It turned out well and I was happy with the results.  Well, maybe not with the embroidery part as I'm still trying to figure out how to center letters.


With the leftover fabric, I made up this dress and I'm not happy with the results.

The fabric is so light, that the inside pocket shows.   Mostly, I think the dress looks like something the school nurse back in the 60's would wear.  Originally, I was going to use some French cotton that was navy, but thought it might be too dark for a toddler.  And the buttons aren't white enough. 

This fabric creases like crazy so I doubt my daughter will like this one at all.

Oh well.  Chalk this up to experience.
