Pure fantasy…..
Do I make another Puppet Show dress in palest coral hailspot muslin or Liberty lawn? (Trixie doesn’t need either as her current one washes and dries in no time and she will grow out of it)

Lucky duck, that sounds awesome!

*I have not made this yet* but that sounds about right. Your back is broader then your front.

Aww Mim, I missed this….. 🙁
Bumped for usefulness.

Thank you Sandi, you are awesome!

I have done that soooooo many times! 🙂

No, don’t worry, a lot of us were so excited to have shirt we jumped in and sewed it up!

I am sorry you are sad Roxy.
If you look at the picture on the pattern packet, the shirt is untucked and only just reaches the waistband, thus the style.
I did a length comparison shot here. https://www.flickr.com/photos/motherof5/4773996320/in/set-72157625212212623
If you want to tuck, it does need some length added.

I made two versions with longer sleeves, they have a more casual feel, one is a farm/play dress.

The sleeve cap is not that gathered but I can understand what you mean by then looking ‘poofy’.
I would consider narrowing the sleeves down to the sleeve hem, tapering them, but I probably would leave the sleeve cap be.
