Hannahs latest dress. The fabric is a corderoy... but it is much lighter than standard corderoy.I did not really like the break in the pattern from the seam between the bodice and the skirt, so I added some brown ribbon (stitched with orange cotton) to break it up, also using the ribbon as a tie at the back of the dress.
I am really pleased with the outcome. This was my 3rd re-do of the pattern, and by far the best finish/fit.
My only wish is that Hannah had darker hair, so she was better able to pull of a dark dress - but it hides the dirt and stains!! So it is worth it either way.

That is such a gorgeous dress! I love the added ribbon sash too.
I bought some of that fabric awhile ago - but haven't worked out what I want to make with it yet ;)
YAY for you Sharon, you have perfectd that pattern to exactly what you wanted! It must feel fantastic!
Those colours are adorable on Hannah.
That dress is beautiful Sharon. I think the ribbon finishes the whole outfit nicely.

Gosh Sharon I am so jeleous of you! I wish I was able to sew but I am hopeless at anything crafty! Your outfits are just the kind of things I look for when buying clothes for Madi.
