Dress #2

Today, I finished this dress for Riya. I think it is really stinkin' cute and I can't wait to see her in it! I have to wait because I finished after she was already in bed. :)
Here's what I did:
I took a white shirt that was her size but was too short in the length and the sleeves were a little too short. I  made it a short sleeved shirt and cut off about 2-3 inches off of the length. I took an old skirt of mine, cut the top off, gathered it along the top, and stitched it to the shirt. I then took some ribbon, pleated it and sewed it to the front of the dress but left long tails to tie in the back. I also cut 2 button holes in the center of the ribbon to attach the flower to so that it can be removed  for washing or if I just choose a different color. I couldn't decide if I wanted the flower to be yellow, white or blue. Now I can change it up as I want. I made that flower out of the part that I cut off of the skirt.
Stay tuned to see her wearing it....
