I fell in love with this fabric approximately 5 years ago. I did not sew very often at the time, but I was in the fabric store and saw it and had to have it.
I was not sure what to do with it at first, so I spent some time looking through the pattern books. I finally found Simplicity 5695.
I bought both the fabric and the pattern.
Remember I mentioned that I did not sew very often 5 years ago, that meant I was a little nervous to actually make the dress. It sat in my closet until 3 days ago when I finally cut into it! I am blessed enough to have had two daughters, so even though my first daughter missed out, my second daughter might get to enjoy it.
Here it is. Now, I just have to hope my daughter will wear it.
UPDATE: My daughter will wear the dress!!! I added some pretty purple ribbon and a bow and she likes it. It is very pretty.
