This often happens when you cut the front of something on a fold and the two backs next to it on the doubled fabric. It's a little hard to explain. On the front of this dress, for instance, I didn't want any part of that big butterfly mirrored on the midriff band or the bodice fronts. Great question!Amanda S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05591040347020137293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-72578657388850670192012-06-11T20:37:45.717-05:002012-06-11T20:37:45.717-05:00Very pretty dress and adorable daughter.

I like that it gives the feel of many of the dolman-sleeved dresses on the market that make her look saggy and frumpy, without making her look saggy and frumpy; and that the skirt is fairly slender, so that it doesn't look like the dresses she wore in kindergarten. Love the giant butterflies! Sad for you, that you have to wear a slip in Texas in the summertime.LinBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15999430801003441981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-53034857764565467172012-06-11T10:23:53.019-05:002012-06-11T10:23:53.019-05:00looks great and so much better than the pattern en...looks great and so much better than the pattern envelope!Beth (SunnyGal Studio)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08891740887743925587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-60692663310945627352012-06-11T07:38:19.314-05:002012-06-11T07:38:19.314-05:00I LOVE that print!!!
