Again – planning projects while in the vicinity of many fabric stores, but without my sewing machine. I am going to purchase some silk dupioni for Easter dresses for both my girls. They will likely be made in something like an 18-24 month size with 3T and 4T length. The pattern says one yard for the main fabric. Will there be enough left over to make sashes?

I’ve only made this in a 5, but I would add at least 1/4 yard for a sash. What about getting 1/2 yard in a contrasting color for both of them, or grabbing 1 1/4 in two different colors, and alternating the main color and sash for each of them?

i might be a loner on this, but i probably would get a yard and cut it on the bias. i think it would drape better.
