the flicka, ricka, dicka dress

molly's favorite books these days are the flicka, ricka, dicka series. in one of the books, frd's mom makes them new dotted dresses. having red polka dot fabric in my stash, how could i resist?

i used child's play for the dress. i chose circle skirt and puffed sleeves with a classic bodice, improvising the collar from another pattern. the dress is fully lined in jaf "weavers fabric." i have never done a circle skirt before. both molly and i love this dress, and as you can see, it has great "twirlability."
