This is the dress I have made for Matilda for her 1st birthday in January 09. It is from the Burda 9650 pattern, and my first attempt at making clothes after only making nappies and a few odds and ends. Now that I have completed this I am itching to make more clothes. It only took me a few hours, with many firsts at trying my handing at ruffling and making my own bias binding. The material was so delicate too and was fraying constantly, but a bargain at just $3 a metre in the quilting cotton bargain corner at SL. I am not sure whether I will add a tie around the waist to help pull it in a bit as it seems very wide/loose on in this area, doesn't help having a long skinny little possum. The length is perfect though. Will try and get a modelled pic later.
Close up of the bottom ruffles.
Close up of the top ruffle. I even managed to not stuff up my first attempt at making my own bias binding.
