Description

This little dress is for my niece Greta and is a size 5 little girls. The red bandana fabric is 100 percent cotton from fashionablefabrics.com. The solid blue fabric is linen and has been in my stash for a while. The dress is completely lined in the blue including the pockets. It tie’s in the back and no zippers or buttons are needed. I used french seams and hong kong seam finishes to make a clean look. I also used blue thread for topstitching the edges.

    So adorable. I love the way the contrasted fabric bow looks in the back. And beautiful detail work as always!
