Do NOT take Girl M. to Hobby Lobby! First, she found a dress pattern she loved then she picked out fabric she wanted the dress made up in. So $28.00 later we headed home so I could start on a muslin.
Where in the world is she going to wear this dress to? It's not bra friendly or Church appropriate. But how could this Momma say no?

The pattern sewed together easily and the pattern pieces matched up perfect. Girl M was a size 18 bodice/20 waist and skirt.
The dress didn't fit on my dressform very well but good enough for pictures. I used a white floral cotton fabric I had in my stash for her muslin. Girl M. ended up liking the dress and fabric enough she wants me to finish it and wear it. Wearable muslin?

The only alterations needed were to shorten the bust dart by 1", make a 1/2" dart in the top band pattern piece to make the dress lay closer to the chest and I lined the bodice & skirt. Easy fix.
