Thank you so much! I cut out a new bodice – it looks much better and more proportionate now 🙂

Thanks for responding! Unfortunately, I don’t still have that piece. I think I cut out the size 4 thinking that still “saved” the other, smaller sizes (since it does on the side seams, etc.).

The skirt and/or bodice of the ice cream dress works well with small cuts of fabric too.

I make a lot of my clothes, probably more than I do for my daughter because she has so many hand me downs, etc. Vogue 8379, a knit wrap dress, is one of my go-to patterns for dresses for work. Looking at the line drawings on women’s patterns is key – sometimes its hard to get past the styling and fabric on the envelope patterns. I second (or third?) the recommendation for the washi dress. It’s got enough shaping to not be sack-like but still very comfortable. I’m wearing one today 🙂

That was my instinct. It’s nice to have it confirmed by someone else, though!

I finished it up last night and I think it will be a hit at Christmas 🙂
