My girls love to wear dresses and I love all the beautiful fabric that I keep seeing in my fabric store! So, I decided to make maxi dresses for my girls. So far, I have two done. One left to go! If you love them as much as I do, you'll want to make your own. It's easy {only a little time consuming} and the result is very satisfying. You could take these directions, and make yourself one - just adjust the measurements to fit yourself. {And you might need to tweak it a little near the end to make it a more custom fit.}
Sew the bottom of the bodice all the way around from one opening to the other, be sure to match the opening on both sides and sew it together. I sewed a reinforcement seam about an inch long across the opening just above the seam to make sure it won't get ripped open when my daughter is changing clothes.

ReplyDeleteInstead of cutting the length in half, I left it in tact and cut on the fold, that way I only had to sew one side and have one seam, which I put in the back. That way it gave less chance of a seam rip, since 4 year olds are crazy :)
