I also had major problems with the neck/sleeves. I started this for my 4 year old and we could not get it over her head. So I ended up re-cutting it and making it for my 2 year old, Evangeline (seen below).
I will definitely try this again, but might take a cue from Kelli and cut the top straight across and then add straps. I am also going to raise the belt a bit more so it creates an empire waist.
I still LOVE the outcome of this one. I'm giving you two photo options....
and Shirt Dress: Cranky
Those red-heads are a feisty group.
Thanks for the fun pattern!
I can't wait to experiment more!

i think the sleeves look really great - the addition of the teal to the sleeves make them really stand out!
ReplyDeletethis looks GREAT! i love the way you did the sleeves with the little cap. so cute.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun dress! I love the combination you chose - so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with the sleeves!
ReplyDeleteSORRY TO EVERYONE WHO'S HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SLEEVES. I need to just change the measurements. My daughter is very skinny, so those are what I used for her. But duh, if everyone has a problem with it, I need to change it.
Anyhow, GREAT dress. Cute color combo!
I just had to say your little girl is ADORABLE! I like the cranky pic!
ReplyDeleteadorable! I love the stripes and the color combo!
ReplyDeleteI think her red hair makes the outfit. I too love the added detail on the sleave. The color combos are great too. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI think shirt dress cranky is my favorite!
