I've been kept very busy with caring for the grand-kids while they are living with us. Carmen will turn three next week. She loves to dress up, so I made her this Belle dress for her during their nap times. It took way longer to make than when I have my time to myself, but I was able to finish it before the big day.

What a fun dress and what little girl wouldn't love to dress up in it. Well done with all the gathering you had to do. I know she will look gorgeous in it. Love Chris

Thank you. Haha...I re-read my description. It does sound as if she can only wear it at nap time. What I meant to say, is that is was only able to sew during the grand-kids' nap time.

It's a beautiful dress. My little granddaughter would die for something like this. It's much, much prettier than the ones from the stores.

This is just lovely and I really like the color satin. She'll feel just like a little princess wearing it. You've done a beautiful job stitching it. Worth all the time and effort.

Thank you. I love the shade also. It was just a bunch of costume satin(the really cheap one) I had in my stash. I tried to do lots of double stitching and serging so that it holds up.

it's lovely and I think that an 'operation' may be needed to extract your Grand-daughter from it!!
