I made a dress for 5 of our 6 granddaughters years ago from this pattern of sorts, only their dress'es were big enough for 5 yrs old.. We took them to church in their new dress'es and Pastor Jake noticed the dress'es and just loved them. Our youngest granddaaughter, I made a pinnapple dress out of thread and it was also georgous,,, JMSQ
