Party frock

Managed to finish off Miss Clare’s party frock for her uncle’s 50th birthday celebrations tomorrow while she was at kinder this afternoon.

It’s a little easier to see in the close-ups.  The front (with matching head-band):

and the back:

I hope that she’ll like it – chances are good, considering that it is (mostly) pink!  The headband is from Heather Bailey’s marvellous free pattern. The dress is Simplicity 4107, slightly adapted by using the long sleeves from the top.  I did a decorative zig-zag around the sleeve and neck hems & openings, and around the hem of the bottom frill.
