She's going into 2nd grade now and still wears it as a tunic with leggings, though it's starting to look small in the arms. I also struggled with a useless loop turner, I remember.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12145758733433802106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-863792023187803515.post-13068059567955906592013-06-26T13:26:55.674-04:002013-06-26T13:26:55.674-04:00Golly, she's getting so big!

Love this dress! If she gets taller, she could wear it with leggings, or you could chop it off into a top. One thing I like about this pattern is that it is so wide, it lasts a long time ... <br /><br />I usually use a little piece of ribbon for the button instead of making a loop. Cuz that is one tiny tiny loop. And I'm lazy.<br /><br />The fish fabric is super cute, too. And spiderweb butter!!
