I love playing designer, anyone else?
MC is wondering what to make for her daughter for Easter. Here is my five cents worth.
MC, I did answer on your photo. First up, I LOVE doing this! I never mind if you take my suggestions (I have teenage daughters, I am used to that).
I agree with the Wren suggestion, but I do think the Garden Party could work. Perhaps if you underline, maybe with a slightly gold coloured lining and add extra fullness to the skirts and have long sleeves. Pipe the front and back yokes and waist bands. I think it could have a Grecian feel and be very elegant.
Particularly if you plait her hair and find some wee gold flowers on hair pins and trailing gold ribbons. Did you know you can bake ribbons in the oven, wrapped around pencils and they will stay curly?

(Edited to add) How about sheer long sleeves, with a piped cuff band?
I love the idea of sleeveless too, I was just wondering about the weather.
