Not-quite-a-Birthday-Party-Dress FO 2/2011

January 24, 2011

Yesterday I finished the second navy pinafore for Button.I used the Oliver + S Birthday Party Dress pattern, but this time cut a size larger.  She will insist on growing!

Also, because this nasty fabric really doesn’t pleat very well, I altered the front to remove the pleated section, making this a plain square necked pinafore with a button back.

Button is delighted with it and insisted on wearing it to nursery this morning.
