O my, this is ADORABLE!!!!! Did you use a pattern for the body or just cut two rectangles? My daughter is going to die if I get this right!!!!!

its just two rectangles ;) the lower one is a bigger, to make pleats.

So cute! I really love it. Do you think it could be simple enough for me? I would like to try with a fabric similar to the one you’ve used!

oh yeah, go ahead and try! its pretty easy. just the gathering may take some time if you havent done it that often

I love this! I’m somewhat of a novice, so I don’t know how successfully I’d be able to make this but I really want to try. Is there any chance you would be able to provide more detailed instructions? :P Also, did you do a lining? If so, what kind of fabric would you suggest?

did you read a comment of mine below? i described a little how to do it.. does it help?
Nov 13, 2009, 01.10 AMby Brooke Dillon
I did have a read, makes a bit more sense to me now. Wasn’t too sure with the body how to go about it, I think the gathering at the top (at the band around the bust) is going to be my biggest challenge! :)

no i didnt. it was really easy though. just measure a string around your bust, add strings for the strips and for the lower part two tubes with pleats if you like. for the sleeves i just drew a half circle in the lenght of the strips.
