Here is the exciting sneak peek of the dresses I've sewn for my daughters and I for our family pictures this summer. I have all put mine done now.
This is Butterick 9911, and it was supposed to be Elena's dress. However, I totally goofed the fitting of Isabel's dress, but it was a happy mistake because luckily, it fit Elena perfectly. This led to a bit of drama, as Isabel sobbed for 30 minutes while clutching the other dress to her and wailing, "I wish Elena was never in our family!!!" It took her a while to warm up to this dress. Anyway, I am pretty happy with how it turned out especially since it was a size 7 pattern (for Elena, remember?) and I GRADED the pattern down to a size 4. It was not a simple bodice to grade either. Seriously, look at those pleats. I had never graded anything before, but it worked! We will be off on vacation and so you may not here from me in a while. Hopefully, we get some great family pictures while we're gone. And that is all, ta ta.
