This is the Frida dress by Modkid, view B with the capped sleeve - made in Peony Plaid (the blush colourway) and some sweet pink dotted fabric I got from Amitie during their last sale.
This pattern has some really nice options, a tunic and another dress with a frill on the bottom and capped or loose sleeves, also the option of pockets.
Because there are lots of pieces you can mix and match your colours and use up pieces of fabric that are not huge to get it made.
For instance - I made this dress in size 6 and also a size 3T tunic using only 0.5 metres of the dots, that's not bad going!
You can't see it, but under the arms there are little ties - also in the pink dot.
Next time, if I had something suitable, I might think about using ribbon for this feature as making small ties is always fiddly, they do look nice though....
If you don't have this pattern - wait a month or so to buy it as Patty has just re-released it and it now goes up to size 10 - mine stops at a 7.
Easy to sew, cute result and quite versatile - makes it a winner in my book.
Oh, and even more importantly, the four-year-old fashion critic I made it for loves it!

We were meant to have peonies as our wedding flowers but there was a heat wave just before that burnt them all. That was waaaaaaaaay back in 2000. Now we are watching the buds on ours every day waiting for them to pop open.
Gorgeous dress too.
Looks great Karen I love that fabric too
Very sweet dress!
Awww this is so pretty, as is your DD! I love plaid fabric, and this one is just gorgeous
That dress looks great... me thinks I might need to get that pattern for my sweet one.
This one looks fantastic too! Now, is there going to be a 3rd matchy-matchy dress?
