I am a petite woman and have put off sewing this b/c I wasn't sure a size 6 would work without extensive pattern mods. Your 11-year-old is still 4 inches taller than me, but I get a good sense of how this might look if I sewed it for myself. Your fabric choice, worn with the cutoff leggings and mary jane flats, really make this dress as age-appropriate as can be. She looks really happy in her new dress! :) Thanks for the review!

Darling dress on a darling girl! I bet she loves it. The fabric is so bright and cheerful.

You made such a pretty dress for a pretty girl. Well done.

Very cute dress--she looks great! I'd guess you could skip the zipper altogether on this, as long as she's so slender. That would certainly make it quicker to sew.

Just a lovely dress. The colors are so good on your daughter. She looks so stylist!

Skymom- I changed the review to address my experience with this, and the reason I went ahead with the zipper. Thanks!

Looks adorable! I was also wondering about the need for a zipper when I was first looking at this pattern. Do you think it would work if you sewed up the back just to about within 4-5 inches of the top and installed a button and loop at the top?
