Yes, another dress for Scout. This was a very interesting project, I purchased the vintage Butterick 3667 (Size 2) pattern at a market in Sydney ages ago. The pictures on the front were too cute to pass up. During my mom's visit we traced and cut the pattern and noted the neck looked a bit small, once the fabric was cut it was clear the neck was about the right size for the wrist of a 2 year old, not the neck. After a number of alterations and adjustments and measuring on Luca we were ready to go. I am very happy with the end result, it was a great project to practice some pattern changes on and was so helpful to have my mom talk me through the adjustments. So much easier when you have someone to bounce ideas off. After all the work put into the changes will definitely be making this dress again. Material from my Tokyo stash and vintage buttons from ici et la. -kb

That is another sweet, sweet dress. I think Scout is going to be the best-dressed baby around!
Aw, so sweet.
I really want to get started on making my daughter some more clothes, but life keeps getting in the way lately.
What a beautiful dress!
