I came across sensibility patterns which had regency dress patterns for girls - perfect. The dress would be simple but elegant and came in a range of sizes.
I went for the e-pattern, it was around 26 pages of pattern which I had to sticky tape together.
I measured her (thrice), cut out the material for the lining and dress, sewed the bodice together and...it was too small :o( after yelling at the pattern, sewing machine and myself, I started again with the biggest size.
This time, it was more successful, although it was still tight around the underarms so I just trimmed them back.
After two days and a lot of learning, since this was only he second pattern that I have ever used...ta da!
I dug out my charity shop button collection and found these vintage glass buttons.
which looked perfect.
I made the sash by sewing together the dress material, making the wrong side show as it had a lovely shine to it.
I did think about making some flowers to put on the dress but changed my mind. I will make some flowers clips to go in her hair and leave it at that.
I am soooo pleased that it is finished :o)we can now have our dining room back. Have to say it made a lovely sewing space, I am sure that we can just eat our meals on a picnic rug from now on ;O)

Its beautiful. Basically we all require a Communion outfit our girl will like to utilize, working out advice within dress collection remains to be finally the dad’s or mom’s liability.
The girls are looking stunning in the pretty white dresses. This will be a new kind of communion with your child that you have never experienced before.
The importance of first communion can mean a lot to many different people of all kinds of religions.

With this in mind, many families gaze to the first communion ceremony as an important marker. For something this important, having a great look is key. First communion dresses are a vital part of that for endless different families.
If you want to save some quantity on very first breaking of the bread dresses then you can need to go to standard retail stores very first. There’s a moderate difference between a first communion costume as well as a normal gown if you do not prepare all the components to select the gown.
