An improvisationally pleated Tinny dress...

Så folkens, jeg prøver for første gang at deltage i en sykonkurrence - og en international en af slagsen, så resten af dette indlæg bliver på engelsk...

(I kan for øvrigt stemme  på den i helst ser vinde lige her)

Hey everyone,

I'm Karen Elisabeth and a mother of 3 wonderfull children...

The youngest is about 6 months old, and his blessing is coming up - That means that my daughter (aged 2) definitely needs a new dress - right??

So, when I noticed the improvisational pleated contest, I thought it might be fun to participate, and decided to do a version of the Tinny dress...

Unfortunately, my daughter didn't feel like playing a model, so you will have to do with pictures of it lying on the floor..

At the moment I'm also participating in a challenge on Instagram, where I have to make 5 pieces of clothing from things I allready have in storage...

So I couldn't buy anything new for this dress, which gave me some problems with the back-closure since I didn't have any zippers...

I decided to close it with a single button in top, and then stitch some of the lower part of the bodice together instead - It worked like a charm I think, especially with the princesscut I've added to the dress (as you can see, I decided against sleeves as well)...
I used the circleskirt option, and I fully lined the skirt with the same liberty fabric that I used for the assymmetrical collar...

Unfortunately, I finished the dress just a minute ago, so there are some things I have to fix (like some ironing, and redoing the closure) right after I've posted this...
