A while ago I made a puppet show dress that was worn and well loved by my friend's daughter. She has now outgrown the dress and I asked her mother for her measurements so I could make her a Family Reunion Dress. Her mother gave me her measurements which put her in size 5 but she also told me that the first thing that was too small on her other dress were the arms. So, I am planning on making her a size 5 Family Reunion Dress (she is only 4 and it will grow with her a little) but how should I go about giving the arms a little bit more growing room? Use a size 6 sleeve and just gather more at the top? Thanks for your help!
