Christmas Dress

  I made this dress from Simplicity (Project Runway) 2320.  I changed the sleeves to elbow-length with a circular ruffle.  I`m not 100 per cent happy with how the ruffle turned out, so I may change it to a regular ruffle.  I do love the elbow-length sleeves though.

I made size 4 to give Juli some growing room, but I should have made size 3.  It`s a bit big on her.  Oh well, It will last for a long time!  I love the micro-suede fabric.  This morning before church I asked Juli if she wanted a headband.  I had made the flower already, so I just made a velvet band with elastic in one section. I`m amazed that she actually kept it on until she got home from church.  Nick and I stayed home because he has a cold.
