MAKING A BABY DRESS

DIY BABY GIRL DRESS



ove baby girl dresses after all they are so much simple not to mention pretty
and the array of fabrics availables wants to make me go on sewing forever
not that i would ever have the time to do that
this is one f the most simple ways to make  baby dress
you need a measurement across the chest
then u need to decide how long the top part will b and how long the skirt part will be
you will need to have four pieces
in the pdf this is the first one
top length will be the length across the chest that you measured with a one inch seam allowance
i have decided the top will b only 3 and half inch wide so i'm using a 8 inch piece allowing one inch seam
allowance
the piece 2
this will have length across chest pus 5in
you have to make gathers on this and attach to top piece when the white piece is folded in half
you can decide the length of dress with this piece
piece 3
top length will be the length across chest+ 5inch or more but not less than five or you wont have nice gathers when you stitch with the elastic thread
the width same as piece one 8inch
 piece 4
same top length as piece 3 
long length same as piece 2

instructions to make dress
this is the ribbon decoration i did
then you can attach the other two sides together
this is how it looks now
im getting to the part aboutthe flower
before that im just going to tell you that for the head band measure the circumference of the head and cut an elastic piece a thin elastic piece exactly of that length
stretch it and attach it to the wrong side of a wide ribbon with a zig zag stitch

the flower is made as follows
