Play Dress

A few months ago I purchased the Sienna Dress Pattern from lilblueboo and finally got around to making it. I decided to practice with my OLD t-shirts so I wouldn't ruin new cute ones if I made a mistake. I ended up using 3 different ones-The top of the dress is a Paul Frank shirt I bought and wore out forever ago, the brown skirt is an old Quicksilver shirt, and the blue one was my friend's little boy's school shirt. They coordinated pretty well I think. I thought this dress was going to be a lot harder to make than it was. When I first took a look at the pattern I was totally intimidated because I'm not very experienced when it comes to following a pattern. I still changed things a bit and did things the way they made sense to me, but stuck to the pattern as much as possible. I decided not to add the neckline because once I was trying it on her without it, I thought it looked cute, almost 80'sish the way the knit neckline rolled up. Also the hole was a little too tight for her head, LOL! I guess if we're being honest,hahaa! I was going to fix it, but like I said, I ended up liking it without the neckline. This is definitely a play dress since the t-shirts I used aren't new, but I'm excited to tackle this dress again using new shirts :) Hopefully there will be more to come in the near future...
