Amare top and dress

I had the great honor of testing the amare top and dress pattern. Designed by a very talented woman.  This pattern is such a fun pattern to make and a pleasure for your child to wear. So many fabric combination options, dress version and top version, bow or sash  and just because you can why not do both!! The princess seams make this a very classic and elegant look for girls and since the top is so lined no irrigation from seams to any child with sensitive skin!! A win in my book!!

This was a first time testing with this designer, in fact though I have many years sewing experience, my experience to using  pdf patterns is less than 1 year.  I love the fact that this pattern explains how to alter the pattern for a great fit for your child. My child fell into a size 12 for width but a size 10 for length. An issue in patterns w my tall but short waisted daughter I hit that issue a lot and this is the first I have seen it explained how to make the pattern work for my child's measurements. I adore this pattern and will be making many more top and dress form. I did receive permission from te designer to add a slight sleeve to my daughters so that she could wear it to school. That took a few drafts to get right and at moment it's attached once dress is finished. I'm planning on figuring out how to attach to straps while attaching lining so no outward seams are visible to distract from the beautiful garment.

my son was trying to pull the dress off the hanger, he is obsessed with frozen
