ryan's mom said... So pretty! You did such a nice job on her dress :) . Tomboys and teenage girls are definitely the most picky groups of all to sew for!!! (However, I did just find my 15-year old daughter eyeing up an embroidered ID tag I made for her sister...She's very much a label-conscious RTW snob.) 2/4/07 12:39 PM
KatieN said... Your little girl is adorable and it looks like she loves her dress! You mentioned that you thought the top was too short, and the skirt was too long - When I looked at the pictures, it appeared that the real issue is that the skirt is sitting well below her natural waist, but I think it was designed to sit AT the waist. If the waist were made smaller to sit higher, it may solve both problems (the too-long skirt and the gap between the top and skirt). 2/4/07 12:52 PM
jessika said... Great Decorative edging. I have a very tomboyish sis that I had to make a dress for , boy is that fun. You did great with all the demands. This will be a great memory for her with her daddy. 2/4/07 1:35 PM

Peggy L said... Glad you made her happy! Way to go Mom. It looks like she had a wonderful time with her Dad. 2/4/07 5:42 PM
cindy-lou said... Hi Katie N-- you are probably right re: length of the top! Low-rise is in now and this girl refuses anything else! Should have figured that in while I was doing fitting-- thanks! 2/4/07 6:40 PM
Chris Kelly said... OMG!!!! Cindy-Lou it's just too cute!! Love it, the beautiful smile says it all! You should be very proud! 2/4/07 10:36 PM
PVA said... Beautiful result! I only had one DD so I didn't know some of them aren't picky! I thought they all came that way! 2/5/07 11:24 AM
AnneM said... Congrats on being able to make your DD something that she wore & was happy with! 2/5/07 9:01 PM
