A dress in under 3 hours and a yard of fabric

This dress was super easy to make. 5695
It is from Simplicity pattern 5695.

If you've never made clothing from a pattern this is a pretty easy one to start with. Joann Fabrics has their Simplicity patterns on sale this coming weekend for $.99!

I used the pattern for the top of the dress to make a shirt for Daphne as well. I just shortened it a bit and didn't add the ruffle at the bottom. That probably took around an hour and a half to make. The pattern is worth the $.99 I think.

UPDATE: The arm holes are a bit tight under Daphne's arm so instead of the 5/8" seem allowance the pattern calls for I'd make it a bit less.

I'm going to try out pattern 3512 latter. I'll let you know how good it is.
