Tutorial: Girls shirred halter dress

Jamie from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom shares a tutorial for making her Summer Rose shirred halter dress. This pretty summer dress has a shirred bodice, and V-neck halter straps. She added a ribbon flower as an embellishment at the neck. This dress would be cute in any length, from tunic to knee-length to maxi. She gives cutting dimensions to make them in sizes 2-10. Go to Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom for the how-to.
