Eva's calling this her Space Girl dress. She was so excited when she found this in my stash and she has been asking every day if I have made a dress for her. She was very excited to come home yesterday and find it ready for her to wear.
I only had 1m of this and it is a directional print so I needed to find a simple pattern. I used a pattern from this new to me Japanese dress book. ISBN 978-4-309-28129-2. I made size 120, which is the largest size.
I made a couple of changes to the bodice. I didn't use facings, but lined it and made the back pieces wider and overlapped them in the middle. I found two big yellow buttons in my stash.

so cool - the buttons are perfect!
Very cute! I have looked at those Japanese pattern books but never had the courage to try them without english instructions!
What a lovely simple little girls dress, and a lovely little girl in it.
Good work on the directional, I would have gotten one bit upside down for sure! What a cutie!
Eva looks SO cute! That's a darling little dress. You're so lucky to have little girls to sew for -- and I'm so happy that you do!
What a great pattern and awesome fabric.
I love how happy she is with her new dress.
