Girl's balloon dress


This is my first article about my creations.
I have been learning dressmaking and pattern making.
They're so difficult, but also so much fun for me!!

Now I'm trying to draft some girls' clothes patterns.

I made this girl's camisole dress from dotted lavender fabric. 
How does it look?

 
It has balloon style skirts.
I used double-gauze as a lining, and it would be comfortable for kids.

I also love these shoulder strings.
They can be useful to be changed the length as the growth, I suppose.

Next project will be a raglan sleeve dress.
Now in Japan, it's the most beautiful season to enjoy watching many kinds of flowers!!
This is Kobushi, Magnolia kobus in English.
So beautiful!

Very pretty dress! I will take inspiration for dresses for my nieces.
And the Magnolia is SOOO beautiful, I love it. Magnolia, Sakura, Ume. The first two I often make sure to plant here and there (I'm a landscape architect, so am very privileged in that sense, I can give my city more of my favourite trees!).

Thank you for your comment!
I'm happy to hear you like this dress and Japanese flowers!
Wow, a landscape architect! Very cool!
I think Sakura is the most beautiful flower in the world, and we can see a lot of Sakura trees here and there around in Japan this season.
I hope you can let people in your country also enjoy beautiful Sakura!
