I must be getting ready for summer, as this is yet another dress for Issy finished off and happily received :) Sadly it's a bit creased, though that kind of made me happy as it was that way because she wore it all day and didn't want to take it off. Not only is that great because it means she liked it, but also super because it was nice and warm here today; so it's a happy situation both ways! I cut a size 7, which is by measurement too large for her in length and hips, about right in the chest and slightly small on the tummy. The issue with having ginormous kids like mine is that she still has the characteristics of almost the toddler shape (like the sticky out tummy) a bit, but clothes aren't cut that way for 7 year olds. I guess that's where making your own comes in!!! Anyway, I didn't alter it in the end as the length seems nice and there is plenty of room to move in it, without it seeming overly large, as evidenced by all the running around: Hap
