I like this dress except... The keyhole seems kinda low cut or revealing some how. just doesn't match the little girl idea for me.. I know she's 2 but...I think I will have her wear a t-shirt underneath

This is the night we went over to Kori's to sew.
She is playing dress up w/ Nathan

Pattern Butterick 4334 Sz 3..Fits her really well, except for the low cut part y/k. I'm always pleasantly surprised when a BIG 3 fits well.

Sorry I haven't been around much.. I was taking a little breather and then yesterday was my Anniversary :heart:

Very cute dress and an even cuter Viking. :lol:

But, you're right, the key hole is a bit low. It's a cleavage peeker for a 2 year old. :shake:

Can you put some fabric behind it? How about a piece of opaque lace? Something? It's too cute of a dress to ditch for a funky key hole.

thanks:0

Totally a cleavage peeker :sigh:
I can't attach fabric to the back, because it needs to open up to fit over her head. That's why I was thinking a blck tank-top or something..

awww I love those diamonds, very hip!

Cute, cute! I've made that pattern before, I think yours turned out much nicer! :)

Well as usual your model is soooo cute. I agree that the keyhole is a bit revealing, even on a 2yo. Love the hat!!

(thanks for helping me out with my request, I tried to email my thanks, but my email was all freaked out)

What a cute dress!!! I love that style --- kinda funky old fashioned. Cute print, too!

Cute little dress. I think a nice little tank under it would be perfect. Happy Anniversary too. :heart:

cute dress, but IKWYM about the keyhole. I would just put a t-shirt under it!

Oh that is cute! I have that pattern to make Anja a dress too. I wonder if I can alter it to make the hole not so low. What do you think? I havn't taken the pattern out of the package yet so I have no clue how it is laid out.

That is very cool Suz! But I agree with the keyhole being too low. A tank sounds like the best option.

That's a lovely dress, but agree about the keyhole. I would just put a vest on her (erm, is that what a tank is? In the UK a vest is a sleeveless cotton top you wear under your clothes to keep your chest warm LOL, not what you guys call a vest, which is what we call a waistcoat!)

What about adding another frog closure in the middle. Love her viking hat!

Very cool dress! I think the tank sounds like a good idea!

It is called a tank top. Or an undershirt, but that has sleeves. Or a wife beater (that is slang for those ribbed white tank tops that men wear).

Anyway, it is cute. I like the print a lot.

Very cute! :thumbsup: I think you have the right idea with a little tank top underneath. I love the style of dress (and her Viking helmet! LOL)

Adorable! And Happy Anniversary! :D

You could put something behind it that snaps in place, or a tee would be cute too.

Very cute dress. Too bad about the keyhole, though I think a black tank underneath will look nice too :)

(now get to your PM's and reply to your WW WL buddy!) :)

The helmet really brings the outfit together :lol: The dress is really cute, it would look nice with a black tank underneath. I really like that fabric!

Very cute! I love the helmet too :D

Very cute! Love the print ~ did you wear your matching shirt??? :D I think a black tank top would take care of the cleavage problem. ;)

Very cute! How about a piece of *stretch fabric* insert?

Very cool dress, I love the fabric. I agree a black or red tank would look great.

Thats such a cute dress.....I think I'll have to get that pattern...... hmmmm maybe the keyhole can be altered to be less revealing.....

No I was waiting to post the pics of my fabric weights instead :P

Happy Belated Anniversary! :D

I love your little viking, she is always so very cute and endearing.

Awwwwwww....Eliana is so cute!! Too bad you just couldn't wear the dress backwards. Your keyhole looks perfect btw. Very sweet. :heart:

That won't be as embarressing :lol: !

I *just* noticed the viking hat! LOL I guess it didn't stand out to me because Sopihe has one that she wears often... Runs around the house saying "I'm a viking. Arggggggggggghhhhhh." :lol:
