Notes	I have always battled to sew for my daughter until I found Lekala. My daughter is rather short and has a plus side bosom and thanks to Lekala I can now make custom size dresses for her. It is Spring here in Botswana and she loved this pattern so we tried it out. I used a viscose fabric and shortened the dress for her to suit her young age. I did initially struggle with the instructions as it was one of my first Lekala patterns I made, but I did figure it out in the end. I takes getting used to read instructions like this instead of looking at pictures. She is very pleased with her little summer dress. And I am sure I will make some more of the same for her.

Lovely dress.

Being rather short and curvy myself, I know exactly what you mean! Your daughter looks very beautiful and happy in that lovely dress and the color and style fit her very nicely :)

@Tannie thank you very much for your kind words.

Once you have found Lekala patterns you will always be happy with the result. You can save her personal measurements the easier it is for her to order. The dress is very nice and it looks like your daughter will have the result of your work.
