For those of you who are still willing to read this blog after thursday’s lame story.. I have another dress to share with you. These below are the ones that I showed you yesterday. I used a tutorial from Create and Delegate to make these two dresses from old Shirts. I altered the tutorial to make each of the dresses a little long since we like our kids to wear longer dresses than normal. I also made my own bias tape instead of using store bought, which turned out really cute on both dresses. On the pink dress I also added a colorful pocket. They were both super easy and turned out fantastic.
So I also made Princess Goofy a new dress using some Tinkerbell fabric that I bought a long time ago. She loves Tinkerbell. The fabric is bright green so I paired it with a very muted purple fabric to downplay the vibrant colors. I did use a pattern and fully line the dress. However she wouldn’t really try it on while I was sewing it and when all was said and done, I could honestly wear the dress myself because it was that big.
So I had to make some major alterations to the dress for her to be able to wear it. I still love how it turned out. You can’t see the purple scalloping at the very bottom unless she’s moving but I still love the fact that it is there and only peeks out like a fancy petticoat at times.
Here she is twirling and dancing in the dress…
Then she decided that she was done and stood on the sidewalk like this..
Can you tell me what pattern you used to make the Tinkerbell dress? It’s very cute!
thanks! I did not use a pattern. You could make it by buying any pattern that is empire with a yoke style top and then just put a really fully skirt. I also added a petticoat under the tinker bell fabric that is sewed into the top (not separate) and then added the scalloped border on the bottom of the petticoat. I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask and I’ll help you with it in any way that I can.
