Project Run & Play: Season 10, Week 2 - "Hand-me-down"

I started with two beautiful fabrics from two very ugly button-down shirt. 
I have a dress in mind, which I want to create based on Caroline Party Dress pattern, but first I wanted to see the fit. So this little number was created. 


The top part is exactly according to the pattern 
(size 3T measurements turned out just right for my 4 year old). 
The skirt is much shorter and much narrower with gathers at the side and back. 
At the top of the gathers I attached patent leather straps with buckles reporposed from old flip flops!


Underneath the dress is a little blouse (Burda 9/12, Mod. 150; size 104/4T that fit very well). 



And here is the before:


And after:

    Those are beautifully sewn! I love the gathers on the sides of the dress. Both fabrics look so much better now than they did as shirts!
