Dress for my niece's 7th birthday

My niece is the definition of Princess!  She loves dressing up and is very sad when she can't wear a dress or skirt for the day.  So, I made her a dress for 'every-day.'  It is flannel, so nice and cozy for the upcoming winter.  The skirt is double layered, with the top skirting pulled up into flounces.  I stuffed the upper sleeve with washcloths to show more for the camera that they are 'princess sleeves,' with elastic on the upper as well as lower arm.  I know they'll puff when she's actually wearing it.





Even the snaps are colorful :)

Every Princess needs a matching purse!  It has an outer and 2 inner pockets.



And finally, I got her some tights to wear with it.


Her birthday isn't until early next month, so I may yet add a few touches here and there.  I haven't decided yet... ie possibly a tie around the waist, and maybe snaps for the purse.
