This dress is actually one I made a year ago for Aubrey. Even though she has grown inches and inches since then, it still looks adorable on her. Looking at these pictures--holy cow, I think she's grown at least five inches since I made this for her! Her 3rd birthday is in May and she's been wearing 3T for a while now and is sometimes going into 4T for some of her clothes. She's supposed to be taller than I am and I am 5'9".
The top is cotton yarn and the bottom is sewn to it, just like you would sew any seam, right sides together. I made up the pattern for the top and since I spent a lot of time doing pattern making since then, I think I would make a few small adjustments, such as making the front more shaped in the top with more of an arch along the neckline. Still, I think it works.
The back is pretty simple, with button closures on the straps. I love the wood buttons paired with the fabric.
She wore this to church on Valentine's day and the pinks together made her look like frothy cotton-candy.
