I want to make a traditional shirt waist dress for my 9 year old, and can't find a pattern...which seems ridiculous, but anyway...I have made her several Jump Ropes and they are darling on her. I'm wondering if anyone has made this sleeveless (and if so, how did you finish the armholes? were they too large/gaping without the sleeve inserted?), and if anyone had success making the placket extend all the way to the hem? I could probably figure these things out, but am happy to benefit from others' attempts and advice :).
Thanks!
Melanie
