Sew: pom pom party dress
My girl #2 will be having her birthday next week and she requested a party dress:
Complete with pom pom trim on the hem:
But my favorite is the navy gingham lining:
Here’s how I made the dress:
1. Use Simplicity pattern #9497:
2. Cut your pieces:
3. I modified the construction process to allow for the bias tape trim:
4. The pink contrast provides the perfect divide between the floral print and gingham lining:
5. Add the bias tape at the base of the bodice as well:
6. Hem as usual then add the pom pom trim, if ever we decide to remove the trim the hem will remain intact.
7. Ready to wear:
And the back has a full hidden zipper:
This birthday girl is ready with her pom pom party dress.
