I need to make matching dresses for Svea and her cousin Olivia. A 3T and an 18 Months. Anybody have either size that they want to scan for me and e-mail or let me know what the approximate measurements are and I'll try and modify the 2T that I have????

When I asked Jayme about it, she suggested adding 1/4" to both sides of the pattern and maybe a little to the top of the bodice when enlarging the 2T/3T.
I would imagine about the same, but subtracting, to go from the 2T to the 18mos. Just my guesstimation, so you may wanna get other opinions too :)

I have a 12-18 mos tracing (I think, lol). I made it with some baby nay and it came out huge, fits my almost 4 yo. I took out a good inch from the width and cut the straps from 4" to 3" on the second try and it's much better on my teeny 14 mo old now.
I could measure both if you think they'll help at all.
Absolutely no complaints about the original Jayme bodice though!! My kids are so small and built "funny" that I have to alter everything :lol:

If you haven't already, I can draw you up a pattern based on measurements!

Does anyone have a 3T size?
I have something very similar that I drew up but wondring if it's much different.

OK, I tried to snap a pic but my camera won't download...?
This is the 12-18 mos tracing:
top edge=6"
bottom edge=11"
height=5 1/4"
bottom of arm scyth (hope that's the right term) to bottom edge of bodice=2"
Straps 4" long
For Ella (teeny 14 mo who wears 9-12 mos) I just folded the pattern in the middle so it now measures 5 1/4" wide on top edge & 10" on bottom edge. I also shortened the straps to ~3". Next time I make it I'll make the arm curve just a tad less because it was showing some underarm boobage on my baby :lol:
The first one fit my almost 4 yo but she's a peanut too. I used the lime green hibiscus Baby Nay fabric though, it's pretty stretchy. For the next one for D I'll probably widen the middle about an inch.
I cut the skirt front and back both 1.5x the width of the bottom edge of the bodice and gathered them on my serger before I sewed them to the bodice.
Hope that helps someone! Thanks again to Rachel for sending me the tracing :)
