Izzy really wanted me to make her a dress, an English smocked dress. I meant to have it ready for Christmas 2023, but ran into a lot of problems. I had such a difficult time seeing my guide threads.
She loves her dress!
I think the color looks really good on her too.
I piped around the Peter Pan collar, making the piping myself.
I used vintage buttons too.
I piped the yoke, the sleeve band, and the back drop yoke. I thought of adding a sash, but they're really difficult to tie with this cotton fabric.
You can see the smocking design better below, a heart design.
The construction of the dress was very easy for me, I have made countless little girl dresses in the past. All of the seams are French seams, encasing the raw edges. I'm so happy that Izzy loves her dress! The pattern is Basic Square Yoke dress by Children's Corner.
