The Honey Girl Dress... modified!

Did you know you can make this dress with the Honey Girl Dress pattern (link) by simply changing where you shirr?

It's the exact same bodice and skirt pattern, but with less shirring and no ruffle. Criz-naizy man!

Here's how you do it...

1) Cut out the Skirt and Bodice pieces as you would for the regular Honey Girl Dress.
2) Follow instructions for Step 1, Step 2, Step 3, and Step 4.
3) For Step 5, mark the shirring lines on the Front Bodice as follows: First shirring line is 1" above the waistline casing and the second shirring line will be 1" above the first shirring line.
4) For the Back Bodice, you can shirr as directed in the instructions or you can do what I did for the dress which was shirr a row every 2".

The 2" spacing between the shirring allows the unique fabric design (Girly and Bitter) to be visible with the shirring.

5) Continue on to Step 6 and follow through with the remaining pattern instructions, omitting the instructions for adding a ruffle (unless you want a ruffle).

That's it!
Simple and fast - a great combination.

This dress, along with at least 2 more dresses, will be up in my shop next week.
