I would so send my daughter to school in that! I think the other parents have come to terms with the fact that my DD will always be dressed a little.....differen t.

oh, no!  of all the things I posted last year, my turnip picker dress ends up on the best of page   

I'm really curious as to what the decision making strategy was here 

But thanks for the lovely comments.  Today the dress part is still in my basement awaiting reworking, and the monkey wears her patchwork pants at least once a week

I think this can easily be rectified. Personally, I see three possible seperate pieces that can be made from this. The pants would be okay with maybe a purple tank top? The dress I'd cut in half, the bottom part would make a cuuuuuuuuuute skirt! The top half might be cute with jeans! Not all is lost, you just got a little too ambitious, or reallllllly liked all that fabric.

Ps I am soooo sorry but I cant stop lmao. I just went thru this entire thread and saw the second post with the other photo..the problem is the length and all that fabric, it makes her look strangely disproportioned. Have you ever seen Austin Powers:Goldmember? The part where Austin was on Mini Me's shoulders, creating this hilarious illusion of a tall guy with a normal upper half and tiny legs.....so sorry but thats what it reminds me of!
FYI: As seen in this scene.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_iPFHi1SWE

dirtydarkdiva, I can honestly say that I've never had an outfit I've made compared to an Austin Powers gag - it's a new high for me!    I mean, besides being on the best of craftster 2008 with a post popular only because of the number of people who stopped by to make fun of me 

I'm cleaning out my sewing room and just ran across this dress in a long avoided mending pile so it's time to fix it.  The bottoms dd wears all the time, so I'll leave them be.

Actually I really like these the only thing I would have changed would have been to leave the bottom row of patches off Otherwise these are inspiring, I might have to make a version for myself

I still just love this dress!

I can't wait for a funny little kid to make one of these for...

But that being said, my fiancee and I both have heads covered in dreadlocks.

[vegbee]

hmmm... I have dreadlocks.  You may be in trouble.

From one dready to another... I still love this dress.
