This is a huge break from my normal "doesn't this pattern know who I am?? I don't need to read the directions, know what the seam allowance is or have any idea of the size of my child!" approach to sewing.
In reward for my diligence, Mrs Baby got a dress that fits (let's all please pretend that any wonky parts are a feature of my child and not evidence of my sloppy sewing technique). AND IT HAS POLKA DOTS. Squee!
The fact that I didn't fussy cut the straps is eating at me, but if I remake them I won't have enough fabric left over to make the matching polka dot panties. The panties are critical.
