Here’s what I saw on pinterest: So I took a trip to JoAnn’s (50% coupon in hand) and bought 2 yards of black jersey interlock fabric and decided to take a shot at trying to recreate this dress.

A friend’s daughter turned four recently and I since I don’t get the opportunity to make fun little girls clothes for my child, I jump on the chance to sew up cute little dresses.
