I think they are pretty similar from my memory.
If your child is particularly skinny you *can* fold some width out of the pattern. I have done this but my daughter is very very skinny.
ETA I always have to open my fabric out to cut the bottoms.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Here is my tute http://www.pinterest.com/pin/73676143878416947/, it is a great sew.
I would wonder if you sewed the shoulders seams and then checked by pulling it over your little ones head (you may need to cut the neck opening a bit bigger) if you used ribbing, like a t-shirt neck?
I am only pondering though, I have not made it….. 🙂

You will love this pattern. It is no ordinary t-shirt dress.
The shoulders have such a great shape.
I have a step by step tute for the dress but as it is for a nightie I wonder if you could cut the back bodice on a centre fold and use ribbing for the neck ?

Day one done, only just…… and ONLY because Hugo rocked Trixie.
Better late then never Tamara 🙂

Patricia, I got Hugo’s here https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/14552916057/, so cheap! ($10/m)
Do you have any relly’s in Melbourne?

We can be tardy together. 🙂

That hat is amazing!
Patricia , my next project for Hugo is that coat!

Vothgirl I’m sure you’ll love the pattern and your husband will love his coat.
Nicole, I’ll play along and blow my own horn (although I think you saw the Flickr pics). I made a straw hat! Surprised myself too

Thanks Girls, you are kind.
Back from a whirlwind trip to our beach cottage, to deliver the new washing machine and mow the lawns.
The mice had had a field day so it was a bit of a mess. I have brought all the bedding home to wash and we will take it back next weekend.
*Fingers crossed*
It was too fresh for swimming but we love the beach all year…[Read more]

Oooh, those are snappy!

Excellent, thank you all, very beautiful dress! My daughter just showed me a photo on her phone of what she likes it has a see through fabric at the top and over the shoulders, but I could piece that in.
