Anna's Pretty Dress

First, let me say that this dress gave me fits! The bodice was a bear to make, and I don't even know why. Sure, the fabric was slippery, but it should not have been as difficult as it was. Plus, I don't like the way the pattern just finished off the arm holes with bias tape - it looks kind of yucky that way. I tried several different options, and finally ended up sewing on pretty pink ribbon instead of bias tape. Also, I modified the bodice with the little pleat in the theme of the dress because Anna is so skinny and I forgot to pre-measure the pattern according to her size.

Front view - I think the pleats are so cute!

And, Anna just being cute...and pretty...
