Pattern: Simplicity 2569
Alterations: I changed the zipper from back to side, and HALFED the amount of fabric for the skirt’s tiers (it called for tulle, and I used organza).
Regal, right?

cute!!! I assume you put the zipper on the side so that she can put it on herself?
Well, yes and no. Since I had halfed the width of the fabric on the skirt I ended with a big seam down the front if I had put the zipper in the back. So I switched it to the side, and the fact that she can zip it by herself was an added bonus!
Very cute dress. She does look like a princess in it.
She needs to go to the princess festival in that dress!!!
She looks just like her beautiful mumma, minus the belly ;o)
I want to make my little girl a Rapunzel dress from Tangled using this pattern: McCall’s 6141. Anyone have ideas on how to alter it to make it look more like the dress in the movie?
Oh I think it will be perfect! Just use the same colors, and then maybe add a little feaux corset front, and it will be perfect! http://www.disneystore.com/tangled-rapunzel-costume/mp/1285659/0/
My only head scratcher is how to replicate the embroidery on the front of the skirt. I don’t have a fancy machine that can handle that sort of thing.
Mim what a beautiful and lucky princess. I half don’t want Hazel to see lest she get any bright ideas! How sad is that??
So pretty! The dress AND the Princess!
