Puperita BFF Dress

Perfect timing for a special dress.  I've been wanting to try out my new Embroidery Module and  Embroidery Library designed another flower ballerina and I couldn't resist buying the design.   Independence Day is always one of my favorite holidays, so I finally made a fun patriotic dress for Susie. The BFF is a dress I've always wanted to sew and I'm really happy I made one for Susie before she outgrew size 6 (She is 4.5" tall, so fully in size 6 now).  Her chest is pretty skinny (22.5" so just size 4), but I just made a straight 6 instead of blending sizes.  The dress is drafted with 2 3/4" of ease in the chest; a comfortable fit for play. My Bernina 770 stitched out the Red, White, and Bloom Ballerina design flawlessly.  It is on linen (a remnant for Joann's) with two layers of cut away stabilizer.  One layer of Poly Mesh and one of  Heavy Weight cut away.  I bought the 4.85" x 5.93" version with 20,323 stitches.
