Sahara Dress & Top – Girls + Dolls Bundle

So far I have bought the fabric for the dress, but am unable to find the suggested latex/spandex for the lining of the bodice. Can you give me more information about what I am looking for?

It is a nice pattern with clear directions and good illustrations. BUT it is simply not an economical way to purchase a pattern. In addition to the high cost of the pattern itself there is the additional cost of using my own ink, paper and time to print pattern pieces and instructions (more than 30 pages between dress and doll patterns) then the tedious labor of trimming pages and assembling the pattern pieces. It took hours and made a colossal mess. I also had some difficulty finding material to meet the pattern specifications and had to order the clear elastic online as their wasn’t any at local stores. What I liked : Good design, clear instructions , lovely swing skirt for little girls to dance in. What I didn’t like: pattern itself was very expensive but my labor and materials ,before I ever started sewing, was far too intense!

This dress is wonderful. I have made 2 sleeveless so far and plan to make many more. The girls just love them. Very easy and fast to make.

Haven’t used the pattern yet.

Dresses turned out so cute! Plan to make many more
