I was going to enter this in the Children's Outfit Contest - but I never sewed a second piece to match. Dern it! Anyway, I am proud of it and my daughter loves it. It is her "Drive-In Dress" b/c it has Drive-In images on it AND she wears it to the Drive-In when we go. I am proud of how it turned out- the neckline was tricky but I persevered and my invisible zipper is perfect (didn't take too much care to match the pattern out in back, but it turned out OK). It was my first Ottobre, ie. limited instructions:
