A Spring Dress for Eli - Simplicity 5645

I had promised Elizabeth a dress as a birthday present, but somehow there was no time for it in the winter.  Since the weather has warmed up and she is attending a wedding in May, I decided to make her a spring/summer dress. She picked a sheer crinkle fabric from my stash and we lined it with a pink polyester satin also from the stash. The fabric did give me a bit of a headache and I had to alter some things, like underline the bodice instead of lining it as I had originally planned, but in the end it turned out great. You can read a fulil review of this pattern at sewingpatternreview.

 

I had made this same pattern 3 years ago for Tabita and Debora wears that dress now. Here they are together:
