one blue dress

This is a super 80s style kids dress pattern from my pattern stash. (The copyright date on my copy is 1987.) I thought it was kind of cute as a drop waist dress, so I made up view B for Ana. Here's the envelope:



Here is the dress for Anabear:



I added a back neck facing to make it easier to construct and avoid any hand sewing. The collar and the fold back front facing were interfaced with a light weft interfacing. That collar was a HUGE pain. It wasn't drafted terribly well, so it was very finicky clipping and stretching to attach it smoothly. Now that it's on, it doesn't really lie very flat- hopefully that's just a hanger problem and it will be better on Ana. I cut a size 2, but it looks like it's going to be a bit on the big size, as I guess is standard for big 4 toddler size patterns.
