A Maxi for my Mini-Me

I've had several people tell me recently that my daughter looks just like me.  Makes me smile every time, even if I see her dad clearly when I see her face!  She is definitely developing her own sense of style, and I love this dress on her.



It's based on McCall's 6459.  I mostly followed the pattern, just mixing up fabrics a bit more and adding in additional trim.  The pattern is designed as a halter, but all that fabric made it really heavy, and therefore quite uncomfortable.  So I sewed the straps down in the back, in a criss-cross pattern.  She LOVES the way it both looks and feels now.


I love that it's a fun, pretty dress with plenty of coverage, while also being comfortable.  It was a definite stash buster, using up five different fabrics.  She loves it!

  2. Hello Brenna,
    What a beautiful dress, and lovely seeing how much your daughter enjoys wearing it. The crossed straps at the back look perfect - much prettier than a halterneck.
    Love, Muv
