I bought the rose print fabric on a recent trip to the fabric store. It is one of the softest woven cottons I have ever felt and that prompted me to use it up straight away.
I chose the romantic dress from Ottobre (issue3/2007, #19). Since J measurements are quite different from the Otto measurements, so while the dress is 116cm for the height, the width is for that of the 104. Jalisa is actually closer to the next size, but I always seem to use the size under their actual height to get the length I like.
Look out for that mushroom
Jalisa loves the dress - the gathered pockets are a hit too.
I have pulled out a laundry basket full of warmer weather clothes that J has been wearing over the last couple of summers. While she won't run out of anything to wear (having a school uniform is great since she only needs clothes for weekends and holidays) I thought it would be nice to refresh her wardrobe with quite a few new pieces. Here is another Otto peasant top and Otto Bert? short. The peasant top is definitely too short - I think I will need to go up to the next height if I want to get some wear out of them.
Once again, the pockets are a hit. I have just finished a blue pair of shorts, with red and darker green to go.
Stunning dress for your beautiful girl! Really, really like that dress on J.
ReplyDeleteJalisa looks so adorable in her new dress. That is such a pretty print!
