I skipped the darts but should have shortened the bodice but it was fine in the end. Thanks so much for your suggestions!

My daughter’s dress turned out so well that I offered to make matching dresses for my nieces (who are also flower girls in my brother’s wedding). The catch: They both live two provinces away and there is no time to send a muslin back for fitting.

One of my nieces’ measurements are:

28″ for waist & chest

Should I make her a size 12…[Read more]

I am super happy with how it turned out. Need to shorten it a bit and hand see the sleeves but I have a bit of time. I think I will stick with the skirt as is:

Thanks for sharing. I am having the same issue with the skirt. I wonder if I should have used crinoline for first layer of tulle? Other than that – the fairy tale pattern worked well. Thank you all for your help!!! I am making my niece a matching skirt so I am open to suggestions to improve the fullness.

I don’t think I have enough tulle to do a circle skirt and I can’t buy any more as I am in the country this week, nowhere near a fabric store. I was thinking about Heidi’s suggestion and wondering if I could make the skirt as called for but shorten the outer fabric like she suggested and somehow construct it as…[Read more]

I was all set to make them fairy tale dresses in some kind of nice fancy-ish fabric but then I went on to Pinterest and fell in love with this dress.
