Another Too Big Dress
This is dress 6 from ISBN 4418061371. Even at the smallest size, 100cm, it’s too big for Isabelle. I made it knowing that, so I don’t know why I was so bummed when it didn’t fit. I wish I had used a different fabric. A striped fabric would have shown off the design way better. But I didn’t have any striped fabric and I was in the mood to sew. And when the sewing mood strikes in the middle of the night, you use what you have. In this case I had plenty of this cute clothes on the line fabric.
Maybe I will try to figure out how to make a smaller version, in some stripey fabric, and actually correct the mistakes I made. Like the neckline. I did the facing all wrong and then didn’t fix it. I don’t know what I was thinking. And the front bottom piece was supposed to be one uncut piece. But I couldn’t quite tell that from the directions and once you’ve cut the fabric you can’t very well uncut it. 
Oh well. This post will be my reminder when I try this dress again.
Ok. Now onto the pictures of Isabelle NOT wanting to wear it. A LOT OF PICTURES!
No I don’t want to wear it!
NOOOO!! Take it off!
Whoo throwing tantrums is hard work.
Maybe they’ll take if off if I look cute.
Take if off NOW!!
Yay! Finally! Off with the horrid thing.
Why doesn’t she ever like wearing the clothes I make her?
Oh and on a completely different subject. I’m trying something out. All the pictures from this post are on flickr. Did anyone notice if it took longer to load?
