First Smocked Dress—COMPLETED!

I finished my first smocked dress this afternoon during Hannah's nap. It was really easy (took less than 2 hours) and is pretty forgiving if you're not the best sewer in the world (which I am not).

I LOVE how it came out! So cute! I can't wait to take a photo of Hannah wearing it.

I bought a yard of fabric and I only used half for this dress. I bought fabric for  two other dresses as well as some fabric to line the Easter basket I bought Hannah. I think I'll save those for another day though. :o)
