Rose Pinafore Dress

The completed rose pinafore.  From the front.



The dress has 4 darts in the front and a centre front seam.  There are gathers just under the bust.

From the back.



I tried to match the print across the zip and I hand-stitched the zip in place so that the focus is entirely on the print.


The bodice is lined but the skirt isn't.



I've also made my poor long-suffering overlocker a cover.



And I've washed some material.


I'm intending to make a  skirt out of the tartan.


My friend B wants a shirt out of this for Christmas.  As B is approximately a size 14-16 and all my patterns are in sizes 8-12 this is going to be interesting!
