The Urban Princess Dress


So after sewing my first halter dress I went looking on the internet for more free dress patterns to try out. The Urban Princess Dress on Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom caught my eye because it looked fairly easy for a novice seamstress and it had a nice generous skirt that I thought my daughter would love. My daughter chose this Valentine's Day fabric from the quilting section of Joanne Fabrics (on sale!) and I bought some wide pink elastic. I went to a local retail store and found a fun purple tank top with sequins to bring out the purple in the hearts on the skirt. It turned out pretty well and it's one of my daughter's favorite dresses to wear. The hardest thing to sew on this dress is the elastic around the waist!
