Here is the dress so far for Ophelie - I have to sew the bodice to the skirt and attach sleeves. I hope to do this sometime during the next week. I've also got one cut out for Aqualina. I ran out of fabric for the bodice, so I'm going to line the bodice with a white cotton fabric. Love Chris

Great job - I have been thinking about getting that pattern - how difficult is it? I just love it!! Hugs, Laura*

Hi Laura, it's not difficult at all. It just takes so long to cut it all out. I think I need some battery operated scissors as my hand ached later in the afternoon. It also takes a long tme to sew up the swirls - 14 of them! Love Chris
Thanks, Chris - it is the most adorable different dress - I just love it!! Can't wait to see the girls modeling theirs!!

These dresses are so nice, would love to make on for gd but will have to show her you pic first. She informs me that she's all grown up now at the ripe old age of 9... now that makes me feel old.. but I do know of 2 little ladies up your way that probably love them.. Marian

Hi Marian, I don't think I'll be making one for Jasana 7 who will be 7 and a half at Christmas. Being at school now she doesn't get much chance to wear 'girly' dresses. On the other hand our little princesses love swirly dresses! Love Chris

Hi Didi, yes, they are lucky! At least Amy can sew, but Dana can't sew to save herself. I think once Amy has more "my" time, she may make dresses herself. Love Chris

The colour is more like that light section to the lower left of the skirt at about 8.00 on a clock face! Love Chris
