Funktional Threads Blog Tour, The Grace Dress

I happy to be apart of the pattern company Funktional Threads blog tour today! I sewn the Grace Dress pattern for my little girl, Sweet pea. The dress really is her style, lots of ruffles!!

The Grace dress has a five different options for where and how many ruffles you would like to add to the dress, we did version D with ruffles on the sides and back. While Sweet pea and I both loves, loves ruffles I will tell you it took longer to sew the ruffles than the rest of the dress. The ruffles really are worth the time too! Sweet pea's favorite part of this dress is the ruffles, second is the bodice.

The bodice is her second favorite part because of the fussy cutting I did. This is a dress for school so on the bodice it says "Together" so she knows mommy is with her even though I cannot be there. I did modify the bodice in leaving off the sash to make room to see the full bodice. I even fussy cut hearts to go around the waist band as well.

I also love how I can layer this dress for school this fall winter too. This way she will get more wear out it.

The dress has a nice full skirt as well, we put Sweet pea's Icing skirt under her's so you can see the fullness of it. A prefect dress for dancing in say's Sweet pea!
