She’s just under the 97th percentile, and projecting her growth on the graph in her MACH book, she’ll be 19lb by September (the patterns mostly seem to measure in pounds, so that’s how I worked it out).

Having just had a baby in the US, I’m totally in pounds right now (8lb 10 1/2oz). I just know she was waaaay heavier than the other tow (2925gm and 3125gm). I can’tr remember what Dot is in gm, and no-one here understands, so there seems little point!

She was born at the Birth Centre (not part of a hospital, I’ve heard too many scary stories about US Obstetricians!). I was able to walk there!

But maybe roller skate… that way I wouldn’t have to do any alterations!
The fabric has so many vertical lines, I don’t want to break it up any more than I have to.
Thanks for all the suggestions!

I like that the dress isn’t broken up with lots of seams, and the little cap sleeves.
I don’t mind doing a bit of fiddling, I could draft it myself from scratch, but I have better things to do with my time!

Carousel and Class Picnic blouse both look possible.

I’m after some suggestions for which pattern to use to achieve a particular look. I have this fabric:
Friends in wild places
and I’d like to make a very simple dress along these lines:

I was thinking maybe the Roller Skate dress, or the Family Reunion. Any other suggestions?
