Summer Belle Dress

Simone loves Beauty and the Beast and, unsurprisingly, her favorite color is yellow.  When I take her to Joann's, she always requests to look at the Princess fabric, Hello Kitty fabric, and yellow fabric.  I happen to find a cute yellow fabric in the remnants bin and made a simple summer dress, which Simone affectionately calls her "Belle dress."  I wanted to experiment with bias tape, ruffles, and pleats, so I worked them into the dress.  It definitely looks homemade but I'm glad Simone it!  I'm hoping she can wear this as a tunic next year since I didn't put in a distinct bodice.

Here's a look at the details in the front.  I need to spend more time working with bias tape.

The back also had 2 pleats
