I added little self-fabric ruffley bits to the arm bindings this time. The edges of the ruffles are roll-hemmed and gathered with my gathering foot. Then I just topstitched them in place, about 1/2 an inch from the edge of the binding.
I probably should have matched my bobbin thread, huh.
The neckline was a simple gather again...no sense competing with those ruffles with anything else, amiright?
It does pull just every so slightly across the shoulders which baffled me until I realized... when I stitched on the self-fabric ruffles near the armhole edge, I drew up the bodice a bit on each side. Oops. Something to remember for next time...
Bright, juicy, summery green.
And now I have 15 little dresses to hem.
Now that's what I like! Its the little details that make that special difference.
