McCall’s M5791 – Toddler dress

I’ve got a bit of a backlog of projects to write about – this one is from October!  I was asked to recreate a special dress that had been made for an older sibling, for the younger sibling’s 1st birthday.

Birthday Dress

Dress from the back

The dress is basically the cutest little girl’s dress you could ever get, with loads of options to customise, such as adding a peter pan collar, puffed sleeves, a belt, contrast sections, bows, lace, flowers, ric-rac, matching headband, and even matching pants!

The fabric is a cute fruit print poplin in pale yellow, and plain green to co-ordinate like the original dress.  I also made the matching pants/nappy cover, because they’re SO CUTE!

Matching pants!

The birthday girl looked utterly adorable in the dress, but then I’m biased, because she’s one of my most favourite babies 🙂  Here are three photos which are essentially the same, but whatevs: she is soooo cute!

Beautiful birthday girly!
