A few months ago, I hit up the clearance section of fabric.com. I found these great prints for a steal! So I decided to try out the Oliver + S Badminton Dress for Matilda.
Even though the finished product may look a bit daunting for a beginning sewist, the dress was really easy to whip up. And as usual with Oliver + S, the instructions in the pattern are so detailed, it’s almost impossible to make a mistake. I’m sure it could be done in an afternoon of uninterrupted sewing.
I can’t decide what my favorite part about the dress is. I love the ruffled shoulder caps, but I really, really love the scalloped bottom.
Next I’ll definitely try the top/skort version of the pattern. That one is sure to be a winner for little girls who love to hand upside down on the monkey bars!
