My granddaughter, Hope, is getting too old for frilly girly dresses, but I had a pattern for a little more sophisticated girls dress that I wanted to make her for Easter. I showed her a photo and she liked it so I made her the Mary and Morgan Young Miss Dress from Sew Beautiful/Martha Pullen.
Mary and Morgan Young Miss Pattern
The pattern shows the dress in all white, but Hope wanted teal embroidery, so I made the embroidery in teal and made the under dress in teal as well to show through the fine white Nelona used for the dress.
