Advice on how to lengthen After-School Shirt?

Hi Ladies, I sewed up the After-School Shirt last night, and I LOVE it! It's looks precious on my 2 year old, and she's already declared it her "new favorite shirt." Unfortunately it came out shorter than I thought it would (and also my sweet daughter has had a growth spurt since I last measured her (2 weeks ago). I posted this question in the "What are you sewing now?" thread as well, but I'd love some advice: I was thinking of adding a length of fabric to the bottom and making a deeper hem that would be top-stitched above the seam where I joined the fabric (a la the ice cream dress). Would that be weird? Any other suggestions? I'm open to anything. My little one really loves the fabric and I don't have enough to make a whole new shirt.


And of course this afternoon, I'll be adding length to my tracing BEFORE I cut out any more fabric. ;0)
