She specifically did NOT want it to look like a costume. She wanted a dress. She's stylish like that. We went to Joann's together, and I showed her how to look at the pattern books to see if anything spoke to her. She settled on Simplicity 8101, but she did NOT want a pocket. She then went to the fabrics and picked out what she wanted, and declared that she would be wearing bright yellow leggings for the bottom yellow portion of the candy. Isn't she the best?
When getting the bias tape for the neckline and hems, she discovered the magic of rick rack and had the idea to add fun accents to the contrasting fabric. She's such a gem!
I can't wait to see it on her. Yellow leggings were ordered from Primary.com. She's going to be the belle of the Candy Corn Ball*!
*Not a real event. It only exists in my mind.
