Green Apples is the Place for Me

Lookey what I finished this weekend, another dress for Meshayla.

A close-up of the bodice, complete with ribbon and wooden (and washable) buttons.

And a close-up of the trim along the bottom reveals that just like the last dress, I ran out of trim. So I added a short piece of brown velvet ribbon I had left over from a pair of drawstring pants I made for myself. I think it works, even adds to the funkiness.

Here's a close-up of the skirt. Can you see the camoflouged pocket?

This is what I added along the back to increase the length. Recall I had the same problem on the cherry dress? I'm sure her dog will love this equally well.

Here's the best zipper I've installed to date. Look at that beautiful overlap of the fabric. And the zipper even works and everything! No one is more shocked than me.

Details: the bodice lining is organic cotton.....from a pillowcase I got for dirt cheap. The coordinating sheets will be quilt backs. Pockets are lined with the same fabric; it is silky. I decided the inside needed some additional finishing, so I added the ribbon to the bodice/skirt seam. I also added some length to the straps as she already needs the cherry ones uncrossed.
