Adjustable Summer Dress NO.2 in Yellow

I have decided to call this Adjustable Summer Dress as it is very accomodative and is quite adaptable as a child grows! Remember Back to School Dress (Dress No.1 of this style) , after having made that, i fell in love with the pattern i drafted, wanted to make it again and some cheery yellow flower fabric was just the right one to do so.

Features are the same as that of Back to School Dress, except that i have added a horizontal slit at CF to let the straps pass through instead of the vertical slit i had made in Dress no.1. Horizontal slit is even more invisible and camouflages well once the straps are inserted!

When i told her she got reviews on my blog for Back to School Dress on being a great model, she surprised me with this pose!!!

Here are some more snaps .... Click Read More to view them. For Custom Order queries read end of post

School Reopens = New Dress; Made to Order available!

Today is Adithi's first day at school for this academic year; (School is reopening beyond the earlier scheduled date due to construction work of new block)

First Day @ school for the year = New Dress home made by mom !

The dress can be Made to Order in (same fabric available ; sizes : chest - 20-25)

Back View - The strap from front end up as ties at the back and since it has to go through loops at the back, making it adjustable and accommodating as she grows!

Added the belt as an after thought as i felt print on the dress was too busy and had to be broken up at middle to add element of interest. I ended up liking the belt more... and glad that i have made it as a separate piece, due to which i can match it up with many of her other outfits !!!

Hem is a boutique like 2 inch hem; this gives a more professional finish more so with the blind-hem finish, the snap below is the wrong side of the dress at hem, i used the blind-hem foot (wish i used it more often, just plain lazy of changing the foot at times!!!)

Do you like the dress? Want to get one for your little darling, you can make a custom order (same fabric available ; sizes : chest - 20-25) contact me @ adithisamma[@]adithisammasews.com
