Besides sewing the ruffled tiers, it is SOOO simple! I am going to make her another one (maybe with Tink fabric?) for the trip.
You do NOT need to be an avid sewer. If you have a machine, you can do a basic dress. The applique at the top takes a bit more skill, but it doesn't need it.
Here is a pic of a basic T dress (I made Mally one and her two girlfriends that we took to a tea room for her little princess party!)
If you'd like directions for a basic T dress, please PM me. I am happy to give you my directions!
Thank you for the wonderful comments. It's SEW fun to prepare for the trip by creating things!
