I love this little corduroy dress. I sewed it (and shared it) back in August, shortly after finishing it. Of course, I knew it would be a while before that sweet Miss L could wear it, since fall doesn’t arrive in Atlanta until mid-October — and even then we still get plenty of 80+ degree days into November.
Kids have a funny way of growing. Even my little pea, who is so tiny and grows so slowly.
I put this cute, round-neck dress on my sweetheart this morning and found that it is no longer a dress. Nope, it’s now tunic length. It once hit right below her knee caps. It is now 1.5 inches above her knees — and if she raises her arms, it’s like a night on the town with attention-hungry TV reality stars.
Good thing she can still wear it over pants — although I may need to make some more of those, now that I think about it.

Isn’t that funny. It’s not until you put clothing on children does one realize how much they’ve grown. We have many tunics in this house now because of that.

I am sitting here making Christmas PJ’s for 19 grandkids and you show me this now to remind me?!? I guess I better go bigger on them.

I am so sorry to hear this. However, can I copy your dress? LOL. I think it is so cute, no matter how your daughter wears it. You are so incredibly talented.

I love the look of tunic-style tops over pants, so I think it’s perfect!! And corduroy makes it ALL the better!

That is too funny…although painfully familiar. It seems like every time I blink my babies are bigger! Love the dress/tunic.

80 degrees in November? We’re lucky if we get 80 degrees in August! I never want to hear a complaint from you again!

it’s sooo adorable! I am planning on making something similar, only I can’t stand sewing on a curve so I’m making separate straps to sew on and will button in the front.
