This dress is awesome! My daughter loves wearing it to Disney World because it’s so comfortable! I love that I can make it with or without the shoulder piece. The instructions couldn’t be simpler, and all of the pictures really help.

The fit on these pants is great. I love the ruffle options and the fact you can use a variety of fabrics.
