Wall-E Dress

This is what we did with the Wall-E fabric:

We made Simplicity 3900, our TNT little girls's dress pattern. It may look familiar- this is the pattern I used as the jumping off point for Cherry Blossom and for the Asian Princess dress from last year. Incidentally, Savannah wore the Asian Princess dress a couple of weeks ago while we were out shopping. While we were in the Disney Store, a man with a young daughter stopped us and asked us where we found the dress. He said it was an awesome dress. I was tickled because I got to say that I made it, and because it must be cute if a dad noticed it!

Sadly, the pattern is OOP, but if you have it in your stash or know someone who has it and will let you use it, I highly recommend it. It a great pattern for customizing your own look.

The Wall-E fabric is 100% cotton. We chose this black cotton with white dots as our contrast fabric and this school bus yellow cotton/poly broadcloth as our accent fabric. The front bands, hem band, and armhole bindings are piped in yellow, and of course, the sash is yellow. Here's a close up of the bottom band:

I decided to add the yellow buttons to make it a little different from the previous two dresses, and because they just went so perfectly:

The Princess loves the dress. She's already announced that this will be her "First Day Back to School Dress." She's also informed me that she wants a matching pair of capris to wear underneath it. Those may have to wait until after the Wardrobe Contest.
