Pattern: Simplicity 8610 Misses/Miss petite dress with pleated or flared flounce. This is view B without collar. This pattern copyrighted in 1993 and purchased from a local thrift shop.
Sizes: 8-24 This pattern include sizes 14-16.
The clutch is another placemat with a beautiful embroidered design.
The pleated bottom dress really appeals to me. I'm sure you understand the list of wants that grows longer and longer each day. Maybe that's what we all enjoy about this adventure. Every day there's something that triggers the eye.
This was a last minute decision after knowing about this event for over two months. Therefore these were some quick sew items. It worked as we entered the event over and hour and a half late due to miscommunication. This time it was good to be late as the littlest one couldn't have taken the whole event without becoming even more uncomfortable.
McCall's 6276 Children's and girl's tops, dresses, skirts and leggings. This is dress C with alterations which include a center seam in the bottom front and a zipper since this pattern for stretch fabric.

Fabric: Crepe back satin & silk organza purchased during my travels from Walmart. I used the crepe side for my dress and the satin side for hers.
Alterations: This pattern was a size 14-18 so I had to use a TNT pattern (Simplicity 8523) jhto increase the pattern. Added 4 inches to the hemline of the bodice, inches to the flounce to equal the width of the bodice front and back, and used the TNT for the sleeves. The pleated bottom dress really appeals to me.
