Little Dress

I did it! I actually was able to follow the instructions on a pattern and made this cute dress below. I've only ever attempted to make a skirt once in the last 10+ years. That skirt was never worn. : ) I can't wait for Aubrey to wear this dress. It's actually for part of her Halloween costume, but you'll all just have to wait to see it on her with the complete ensemble. I was so stressed about doing the zipper. This was a first for me as well. (I called my Mom a few times during the process.) I think it turned out pretty great. I probably should have moved it up an inch, but I just put in a clasp at the neckline to keep it closed.
