After a first test of the strapless girl dress, “sarong style” (see here), Petite Chérie loving it, I did a second one for her.

The dress is still very simple and quick to sew so that it’s fine with me that Petite Chérie loves it!

The tutorial for this easy sarong / strapless dress is here: Easy sewing : strapless dress !

For this dress

I used a fuchsia cotton fabric as the bottom fabric and a flower printed cotton from Lecien for the top fabric.

For embellishments : a small ribbon and a fuchsia flower.

I didn’t have matching thread for the pink fabric to sew the hem. So, since the seam would be inevitably be seen, I decided to test a “leaf” decorative stitch on my beloved sewing machine (Janome DC4030) with a iridescent green thread. I told myself that it would remind the leaves on the print … In the end it is not truly ugly, but I think I would have preferred a matching thread that would have gone unnoticed.
