I guess that's what you call an Anna dress made as a birthday gift for my niece Ruby?I haven't made this pattern since the first time I did for another birthday gift, almost a year ago.
Not sure why - I guess I forgot about it, but it's easy to make and a really versatile Farbenmix pattern that I think will become one of my favourites.
I have plans to make it up in the 'top' length as well - and fully reversible.
This one wasn't fully reversible cos to make it in this size would use quite a lot of fabric.
It looks very long here, but keep in mind it's a size 134-140cm on a 108cm child! This shows you how versatile it is though - apart from the length, the fit doesn't look ridiculous given it's several sizes too large.
The flower is a pin or brooch so it can be taken off and put on the other side of the dress when it's worn the other way.
That's the versatile bit - you can turn this dress around and tie it the other way for a completely different dress.
Ruffles on one side, ribbon and ricrac on the other.
Check out some more versions here.Excuse the pink ballet slippers peeking out the bottom of the dress and the serious face, you can only ask so much of your models really.

Made in 8oz demin with red topstitching throughout.

It looks like you're going to have to make another one of these dresses for the disappointed model. Its beautiful.
Gorgeous Karen. Love the fabric and especially love the contrast down the bottom of the dress. It's fabulous.
It looks fantastic! I love it in the denim. I can see how it can become expensive to make it reversible - I checked out some denim the other day and it was about $15 a metre.
Poor Alice (that is Alice right?) she looks downright disappointed that the gorgeous dress isn't hers. Will you be making one for her then?
Looks great Karen but poor Alice she really looks upset it's not for her
Gorgeous dress no wonder Alice didn't want it to go to another home. Maybe there needs to be a dress in the pipeline for her?
Susan :)
Its a beautiful dress Karen! I love it in the denim
Wow gorgeous dress. Denim and red..my favourite colours!
Very pretty. I just went to Crafty Mamas and bought the pattern after seeing yours ;)
Awww how can you not make her one with that disappointed face!! :-)
Great dress, agree then denim looks wonderful and the details of the trim really compliments it.
Love it, might have to track a pattern down and make one for Cate.
I love the trim, denim is such a great fabric isn't it.
this is so lovely, I might have to look into that pattern!
