Be sure you have enough fabric in the back for the 5/8" seams allowance for the zipper. Your other two layers will take up a little space, too. You've done a good job fitting - that's the most important part.

You are indeed your little girl's hero. What a treasure of making memories with her. Today a princess dress, tomorrow her wedding dress.

well I have all my pieces cut out of all the differing fabrics, now I just need to make some sense of the order in which to connect them all together to have hidden seams..... my head hurts from thinking about this

I congratulate you! It is going to be wonderful and your DD will be pleased as punch when it is finished.

you are all probably tired of me taking up space with progress reports..... So I made an album you cab see it at http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...bums19391.html

Not at all tired of the progress reports. I got involved with sewing and vintage machines because my (now 11 yr old) daughter wanted to learn to sew. I fell off the deep end. We now have 20+ vintage machines and I'm a co-leader of a 4-H group for my daughter and a few of her friends for sewing and other activities.
I haven't been brave enough to try a dress yet though we have patterns for a couple. You should check out the gown Glenn made for his wife. I'm sorry I don't remember the thread it's in but it's a beauty.
I'm sure your daughter will love it when it's done.

Rodney, I have been putting updates in my "Princess Dress" album, and am currently trying to learn to install a zipper.... then I get to learn about sleeve!
