Mer got her Easter dress, thanks to my kind mother in law letting me use her sewing machine and sew for two nights straight and then some. It turned out exactly as Mer planned. She loves it!
For the pattern I used McCall's M5798. It was easy, but it was the ruffles that did me in. They are time consuming, that is for sure. Here's what it looks like with out her little sweater....
I also made myself a little flower out of some of my new fabrics. In hindsight I should have made it to match her dress..
Darling dress!! Mer looks so pretty in it. Sweet fabric flower!

That is so cute, Sarah!

Looks like it's a great pattern. I hear you about the yards of ruffling it entailed! But you should totally make her another one. It's a really cute dress.
