Here is my latest creation for Sophia. I have to admit her closet is plenty full of dresses, but I couldn't resist making this dress from a circle skirt I got at a thrift store. This is how I started sewing. In high school I bought things from thrift stores and tweaked them.
Here is the one hiccup I encountered. I didn't plan to have the back open, so I realized as I was sewing it that it wasn't going to fit over her head. At 11:00 last night it seemed like a good idea to do do buttons to attach the straps. (The buttons face the inside) You could see the button holes a little. I put bows on to cover the button holes. But the front is now a little floppy and doesn't lay flat like I would like. I will probably mess with it tonight.
Here I flipped the dress around so the bows are in back.

This is how I laid the pattern out to cut.
Making the straps was surprisingly easy.
I just ironed the excess fabric under the lace and topstitched.
