I graded the Anda dress down to a 34, and shortened the armscye. Shortened the length, too, of course. This works great! I was looking for a very simple dress for my daughter and this was perfect. Made the 2nd version in a knit, which is very, very comfortable.
rayon print for 1st version, rayon knit for 2nd version
elastic for part of drawstring

Anda dress was a great pattern in the first place, but your version made me fall in love with it!! I’m not good at grading, resizing patterns, but I might try, because it’s such a cutie for girls! Well done!

Thank you for your nice comment! Good luck on your sewing!
I should mention I narrowed the neck opening by 1/2" at the shoulders.
