SIMPLE REALISED
I got the majority of the dress sewn last night. The light hasn't been good for photographing dark colours (too bright), and Pia is sleeping now the light is good. I'll try and get better shots, but for now this is what it looks like. I need to find a good hemline, and fasten the shoulder straps together, and we're done. I have a little problem with Pia in a dress - just looks odd whenever I try - bit like her in pink and frills (yeah, it's taking a while to get the hang of this girl thing)! So maybe this will be a long top instead, and I'll make some gathered bloomer pants for underneath. More photos at Flickr.
ohh yeah i think it'd look super cute short with bloomers!! :D

bloomers would look great also what about Baby Legs. i don't know if you have any but they are wonderful and can go under just about anything. they are like leg warmers for kids, it makes for easy diaper changing etc.(sorry it sounds a bit like a promo but it is not we just love them)

I have that book too, it's just amazing. I love that you have scaled down this dress for your babe.

Love the dress. I found with my daughter dresses looked odd until she was able to sit up - something to do with the proportions, or the way the fabric hung I suppose.

Yeah, the dress thing is weird on baby girls. For Amy it didn't really come together fully till the walking stage. But this is an amazing creation and would work well as a top as well, and I'm sure will be fantastic for a little 2 year old girl a while down the track. Very impressed!
