crossposted to sew_hip, sorry about the repetition

I made my daughter a new summer dress. I actually made a couple, but this is the only one that fits right now, and it's still a little large. It's Butterick 5439, and is altered just slightly from the original pattern (Pocket is added and there is velcro instead of buttons on the shoulder straps because I didn't have buttons at the time.). It looks really comfy and will be cool during the summer. It was also really easy to make (one evening.), and uses a snall amount of fabric, so I'll probably be making more.




You can see the contrasting inner lining in this pic.
