Second Time's A Charm...well, almost.

I gave this tshirt dress another try yesterday and I think I finally got it all figured out. I am so much happier with the "flounce" of this skirt (as is Emma). I love the style of these dresses with their high waists and poofiness. It really didn't take that long to pump one out, so I think I'll go ahead and make one for Mary next.
As a result of this miniswap I came across this blogger, who was making a similar dress using  vintage table linens for the skirt. We were able to comapare notes and it helped me get a better plan for my second try. I still have a few things I'd like to improve, especially at the point where the tshirt and  skirt gathers meet. I think it will also be better to use matching thread next time, since the contrasting color shows my shaky stitching in some spots.
Emma hasn't taken it off since it came off the ironing board for a final pressing. She even wore it to bed. But of course, at soon as she put it on the first time, she took a big swig of hot chocolate and spilled it down her front. of course. thank goodness for 'Shout!'.
