I particularly love her wardrobe... and now that my daughter can wear dresses, and I can sew, CLEARLY I need to make her some Shirley Temple-esque dresses! (right? RIGHT!)
unfortunately, I can't find patterns... When there are really cute vintage patterns for sale, they're $40+ and I don't think my daughter needs cute dresses THAT badly.
so I decided to draft my own patterns, given my reasonable successes during KCW
first I tried this dress, but it totally flopped, so to clear my brain, I tried to make THIS one.

(Now that I think about it, this is the dude from Stowaway, not Curly Top, so the Aviatrix name doesn't work, but it's already on my pattern pieces... oh well...)
here's my verson:
I think it's a reasonable winner, don't you?
here's the back:
and a close up of the front:
and my awesome model, being very tolerant of her mama's photographic needs....
I'm thinking of attempting to draft this pattern in various sizes (2T-6?), and then maybe selling it as a PDF pattern...
of course, I'll need pattern testers, and input, so if anyone's out there....
(ahem)
... email me?

I would test it! I too was in love with Shirley Temple.
I just wanted to say that when I stumbled upon this post while browsing blogger, I felt compelled to tell you that this is ADORABLE. Makes me wish I had a little girl to sew for, instead of a boy. ;P
