above is the dress i made for missy during this past week - it's newlook pattern 6576, made from turquoise cord and embellished with ruffles that utilise some of the lovely fabric my mum recently gave me from her stash. i've added a zipper down the side to make the dress easier to get on and off, as missy dislikes getting dressed at the best of times. my zipper-installing ability is improving, though any advice in this area would be welcomed! i'm especially happy with the ruffles - after a bit of experimentation, i was able to recreate what i had imagined in my mind, which is always very satisfying.

take care,

Hi Em, what a gorgeous little dress - I love the colour.
Those ruffles are very sweet, I would very happy with those too! I agree with Clare, that colour is just gorgeous.
bravo!
and what a color!
It's smashing! I'm about to go do a little class on zippers and button holes at Thread Den, so maybe I'll be able to pass on some knowledge after that - right now I got nuthin.
