Beautiful in blue

My oldest daughter is obsessed with wearing pink but I managed to sneak this blue dress into her wardrobe in late June of this year.
I used this same pattern for Isabelle's 3rd birthday dress earlier in June
and loved how it turned out. This dress is so much fun - mostly because of the back. The 7 rows of casings give the back a smocked look that I really like. The casings take a little bit of work but the final product is worth it to me.

If you are going to make this dress, first check out some pointers I give for the pattern.
