"D" is for Dress #4

Sew: pom pom party dress

My girl #2 will be having her birthday next week and she requested a party dress:

Complete with pom pom trim on the hem:

But my favorite is the navy gingham lining:

Here's how I made the dress:

1. Use Simplicity pattern #9497:

2. Cut your pieces:

3. I modified the construction process to allow for the bias tape trim:

4.  The pink contrast provides the perfect divide between the floral print and gingham lining:

5. Add the bias tape at the base of the bodice as well:

6. Hem as usual then add the pom pom trim, if ever we decide to remove the trim the hem will remain intact.

7. Ready to wear:

And the back has a full hidden zipper:

This birthday girl is ready with her pom pom party dress.
