I made this dress for Vidalia (yeah, I know...I didn't get to name her tho! ;) )
The girl is like her grandmother and is long waisted...since they live in Arizona and I don't, had to do it all by her measurements...and trust the kids to get the right measurements.....they weren't exactly right, because this is supposed to be an empire waisted dress....and well...it's not quite empire! :lol:
The kids said she saw the dress and started stripping down right there in the post office lobby so she could put it on!! :lol:

Anyone that doesn't sew, doesn't understand how to measure, but still looks good on her :mrgreen:
How old is she ?

Cute GD and dress looks good... she can wear it for a longer time :D
I understand about "kids" getting the right measurements. When my DGD was about 2, I was making her a coat. I needed her length from center back to knees/midcalf. My dd and sil made every excuse in the book as to why they couldn't get the measurement...everything from "she's asleep, to "can't find the tape measure". I finally just made it...it was too short and when they asked "why I made it so short?" I reminded them that I was begging for them to get her measurement.... It was still cute but, being so short, it didn't provide much warmth.
