Nora's Birthday Dress

Nora's Birthday Dress hellokelcey.blogspot.com

I made Nora a dress for her birthday and I had to share it because it came out adorably. We call Nora "Princess Cupcake" so of course I had to make her a cupcake dress for her special day. This fabric is by Lisette and I got it at my local Joann Fabrics. I was there recently and it was still in stock.

I used two patterns for this dress. The main dress is pattern A from Simplicity 1921, but I borrowed the Peter Pan collar from Simplicity 2392.

The little details in this dress make me love it so much. In addition to changing the collar, I cut the length of the skirt shorter by about three inches. I was worried it would be too big for Nora but it fit perfectly!

I'm really happy with how this dress turned out and am excited to do more sewing. I'll have some birthday posts soon so you can see the dress in action.
