It was not as hard as I thought it was going to be, and I learned a couple of tricks along the way that I know I will use for other patterns. I love the way the inside of the neckline is done as it lays very flat, even though it has a deep curve.
The pattern I used was New Look 6504 (View B). The fabric was hand picked by my daughter a while back and she couldn't be happier to finally have the dress she's been wanting for a while. She also picked the buttons, big & purple.
I copied the pattern onto freezer paper because I know I'll use it again and again. I can't wait to make it in a fabric that I actually like :)

Adorable summer dress! I've always loved A-line dresses.
Perfect dress for summer! (and I like the fabric - I'm pretty girly). Thanks so much for linking up to Finished for Friday!
That is so cute! I always copy patterns to tissue paper so I can use then again as my kids grow!
I love the dress and the fabric! You've made another winner!
She looks adorable. I have a daughter who has a dress (actually I think she outgrew it) out of that fabric too. :)

I definitely have a yard of that sparkly butterfly fabric and I feel the same way about it. Love the cut of that dress. Don't you just love how easy freezer paper makes cutting out? I just cut out my 8th pair of pants from the same freezer paper pattern and it is still ironing on great. Such a great invention.
