Butterick 5019

This dress is for my cousin Natalie's daughter :)--I've added a pair of shorts with a flower on the leg because the dress seemed a bit short. :)

Simplicity 2466

This is a Daisy Kingdom Pattern that is so dang cute on the pattern envelope. I've sewn it with a "Wee Woodlands" cotton fabric by Keiki for Moda. After sewing this, and then reading others reviews online, I think the neckline is going to be gaping on Allison. UPDATE: so, I've tried this on her, and it was so gaping that it fell right to the floor! So, I took the whole neckline apart, shortened the elastic on each shoulder strap/sleeve, and added elastic to the front bodice top. Now, after taking 7-8 inches off of the neckline, it is perfect, and fits great! It was a lot of work, but worth it! The first picture shows the newest version, and the second picture shows the gaping neckline.
