Tutorial: Urban Princess Dress, designed by a little girl

This is the Urban Princess Dress that a little girl designed. Hilary and Jessica from Domestic Bliss Squared guest blog at Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom with a tutorial showing how to make it. The design is by Jessica’s 4-year-old daughter, who described it as, “a Disney Princess would wear to go downtown.” To bring her design to life, her mother made a dress with a tank top bodice and a long, full skirt from a colorful striped fabric. It’s a simple dress made in elegant proportions. Go to their tutorial to see how to make this pretty dress.
