Kimber's Fourth of July Dress

Lately I've been trying different sewing projects so I can learn different techniques and become a more skilled seamstress. My latest project was a dress for my niece Kimber. I've heard many different names for the style of dress I made but I call it a "shift" dress. I found some adorable fabric at Walmart that's light blue with blue and red stars. I decided since she loves to run around and play some matching shorts were also necessary. The shorts are just plain dark blue. Even though I took her measurements and followed the pattern the dress came out too big. Sigh.


I didn't get any pictures of it on her but here is the finished product!
