(The sunshine was playing peek-a-boo with us....her top really isn't faded)
Well, I showed you Elisabeth's new spring dress here.....and now here is Emily's new outfit. She decided she did not want a dress but rather a long skirt and a top. So for the skirt I took her waist measurement and the desired length and fashioned a skirt for her. She loves it. And then I was trying to come up with an appropriate top for the skirt. I found I did not have a pattern that I thought would work well.....so I took the bodice pattern from a favorite dress pattern and lengthened it.
And the top buttons up the back. Emily picked all the fabrics and the buttons. I think she did a great job!!! So now that I know these altered patterns worked out well and fit her......I will jump on in with her Easter outfit....which will be the same pieces but using different fabrics.
