Here it is, Simplicity 5540, almost done! I just have seven red buttons (one of them seen in the upper left corner) to sew in place.
I think this pattern is too cute for words. The elastic in the upper pocket gives the pocket a nice shape. It is my favourite design feature. And I do like the topstitching.
The bodice is lined, I used a pale yellow lining. But not the skirt.
The pattern comes with shorts that is shown on the pattern envelope with the dress. And I discovered that if I do some creative pattern placement, I'll be able to cut a pair of shorts too.
That is what is up next before I get to H's dress and shorts. But I should get to those buttons first.
Happy Sewing!
