I made this dress for a friend’s daughter who turned 3 this month…. I thought she could wear this through the fall and winter.  Luckily, I got to try it on her while I watched her a few days before her birthday party.  It fit her pretty perfectly!  I used Butterick’s pattern B4176, but added red lining which made me have to change the shoulder seams a bit, but I ended up really liking the result!  In the first picture, you’ll see the edges are still raw since I hadn’t hemmed it yet.  I think she looks like a little vintage French girl getting ready for school to start :).  I will definately make one for Ellery using some other corduroy I have stashed.
