Simplicity 5695, ahem, again
I don't tend to collect UFOs, but this dress has been hanging out in my sewing bag for months, so I decided it was time to finish it.
I've made this pattern and variations of it quite a few times, so no surprises. You can see the entire collection here. I actually started this one as a demo dress for my sewing group, so whenever we'd get together, I'd use it to demonstrate the next steps in the pattern. The other ladies both finished their dresses long ago, but this poor thing was forgotten!
Since I used this dress to demonstrate, I did pretty much stick to the pattern, except for a tiny bit of ribbon trim on the bodice. The flowers are so busy you can barely see it!
Myra loves it! She's a sucker for a new dress, especially a twirly one. The part of Prince Charming will be played by Curious George.

Myra looks so pretty in that shade of red! It's a cute dress.
Awww, that is the cutest little red dress ever! It looks so spring-like with the little floral print. :)
We scrolled to see past versions. Curious George is there at least one other time, too.
This one might be my fave! She is growing.
Adorable, Katie!!
Your little girl is getting so big. The dress, as always, is fabulous. Is it warm enough there to wear that yet?
Myra is such a little cutie pie! She is growing so much. The dress is precious.
I'm with Myra. A twirly new dress is a very good thing.
Good you finished it up. It is adorable and way too cute to stay on a hangar. Your little one brings it to life!
Adorable dress! Myra looks so much like her mommie!
very nice, so pleased you are finding the time to get to the machine!
Very pretty - I like the flowers on red.
You can't beat a well-loved pattern!
Awww! The dress is precious, but I just love her little piggies in that first picture! Such a cutie.

I too have used that pattern many times. So easy and cute.
I really love that she is such a girlie girl!
