*edited dress name for clarity Thanks for asking this Donna.
Everything I make is "from scratch" so no, it's not a onesie on the Daddy's girl dress. Those are made with either rib knit or flat knit to give the shirt section of the dress some stretch so they're comfortable. That particular dress has an appliqued GIRL as well as embroidery.
I'm willing to use your supplied fabric but I need to make a few things clear. I've seen chat about using fat quarters for dresses. That's fine for the teeny tinies usually but honestly I prefer 1/3 yard since most skirts take more fabric than the quarters are wide. A fat quarter is a one-fourth yard cut of fabric that (usually) measures 18" x 22" instead of the typical 9" x 44" quarter-yard cut. What I generally use as a rule of thumb is the waist size x 3 (4 on the fuller skirts) That would mean seaming the 2 pieces together which invariably shows. IMO, that's just not the way I like to do things.
If you'd like to chat more about having me make dresses for you, please pm me.
