Well, that didn't turn out cute at all....

It does help to have an adorable model.

 The dress was actually hard to photograph outside - too much white to see the cute little pleats on the front.  I used the blue clouds portion of the fabric for the little cap sleeves. She's got a t-shirt underneath since it's still cold where we live.

Red and blue buttons down the back and a big bow!  Of course, I attached one of the ties upside down so that the reverse side shows.  Luckily, it's a tie.  Mimi didn't care.

You can kind of see the pleats here in this action shot.  She likes her long skirt and hasn't tripped on it yet (some stumbles, but no actual trips).  And we only got a couple permanent stains on this first wearing.  :)  Again, this was "Jane" from Petite Poche by Wendy Schoen.
