OOOHH How cute ! Both your daughter and the dress :mrgreen: She will certainly be fun to make clothes for as she likes to model them and we will get lots of pictures :lol: You did great for a first time :thumbup:

As for thread, I just use what matches from the Coats & Clark line.

Glad you jumped in and had fun

I agree, beware! Next thing you know you will be making matching outfits for all of the grandkids for a family photo!

What an adorable little girl and I love the dress also. My little DGD's love dresses like this one. They would be cool for the Summer. You did a great job! Thank You for sharing.
