Managed to finish one project in April/May: a set of infant dresses for the newest Fort volunteers. As usual, I used Liz Clark's pattern.

Size 2 dress with high neckline, smooth fit bodice and slim short sleeves. |
One of my favorite parts of this pattern is the ease of customization. I made 2 complete dresses, with a second (one size larger) bodice for each, and was able to use different style elements every time.

This was also the first time I made resize-able dresses. The skirt was made to the largest size, and hemmed long to cover a pre-crawling baby's feet. Sewn to the size 2 bodice, it has a generous overlap at the waistband; when it's too small, the bodice can easily be removed and switched to the next larger size (though the hook and eye on the waistband will need to be moved, and tucks taken in the skirt once baby starts crawling.)

| Size 3 bodices: both with boat necklines, the blue is yoked and has short loose sleeves, the orange plain with puffed sleeves. |
