A Simple Little Dress







My little Morgan is at an difficult age. You see she is almost 8 and well the height of a 10 year old. Her shoe size is 7 woman's. This makes it all difficult to find clothes that are age appropriate. The last few times we have looked for church clothes two things have happened. 1. We find what I so dearly refer to as "skank clothes". or 2. I spend a bloody fortune insuring she looks 8 years old. Morgan really needed a new dress and she requested green. I found this super cute pattern at www.thehandmadedress.net I loved the simplicity of this pattern. Morgan loved the little apron in the front. One of the greatest things about this pattern is that you can download them for people like me who have no ability to wait for things. I have already started the next one, it is brown and pink!!!

We have the same problem with Maddie-she either looks way older than I am comfortable with or nothing fits. She's a size 8 in women's shoes already. Great job on the dress-perfect for an 8 year old! :)

That is so cute - I want one. I feel the pain on the whole skank clothes thing. Wish I could tell you it gets better!
