SNS of Summer modeling that preemie gift & now her own size dress

Here's Summer wearing the PREEMIE sized dress I made for Jodi, as you can tell the pattern runs a bit big.... It's Butterick 5896



And since I've been trying to keep off the pc waiting for a call from Jodi, I managed to clean house, cook dinner, wash laundry and make Summer the same dress! I did the preemie size again, but added about 1/4 inch all around. And added a few inches in length as well.





And no word from Jodi btw, she's a trooper!

Isn't that insane??? How old is Summer? She reminds me a lot of Miss Chloe whenever I see her pic

Did you use 5/8" seam allowances? I've had things turn out big, but never that big. I love that dress though!

She is pretty much built like Chloe then! Not sure what she weighs, but she can still wear 6-9mos shirts. She is 18mos. I sure wish she had Summer's hair though, my girl has this mullet thing going on hehe.

I haven't had things come out quite *that* big before, but def no where near the listed size. Big 3 patterns are bad for babies. I love the dress though!

I didn't use quite 5/8, but pretty close...

Summers hair just really starting growing this year, she had some wierd thinkg going on there for a while where only a few strands on each side of her head were growing....lol At least now it's starting to really fill out.

She too can wear things alot smaller, but usually depends on the name brand. Some run much bigger than others.
