This project worked out well. I had barely any scraps and the sewing went smoothly, can't wait to see it on her. I think it would be fun to wear this slip with other dresses too.

Dress Extension
It sounds like hair extensions and I'm thinking it's the same principle. My neighbor's daughter is getting baptized on Saturday and asked me to help her with a dress. The dress that she has is a family heirloom, each girl in their family has worn while they were baptized.
The dress is fine--except for this little girl--it is too short. We contemplated adding an eyelet ruffle and then I had an idea pop into my head. I made a slip with eyelet ruffles on the bottom.
This way we wouldn't be touching the dress with scissors or a sewing machine and the other members of the family who will get to wear it won't have to worry if the dress is too long.

What a clever idea! You are so smart. I love the inspiration that comes in time of need. It would be fun to see a picture of the dress on the little girl.
