Isabel’s Polka Dot Party Dress
July 14, 2009 1:35 pmThis was the dress I made for Isabel’s 5th birthday party.
I smocked the top and then added puffy sleeves.

I loved the color of these polka dots.
Then I made a petticoat under it so it would be poofy. I made it as a skirt so I could use it under other dresses.
Aren’t party dresses fun?

Alexis….love the puff sleeves on the smocked dress. You'll have to teach me how to do it. I have so much fun watching your blog and seeing how much you get done! Tell Emmy to get a date for us.

How would this look in a ladies' size 10? Petticoat included, naturally.

Very cute! What fabric did you use to make the petticoat? I've been looking/thinking of what I could make one for my little Misses.
