This time I just didn’t have time to make a full princess dress, who does when the kids are little? So last minute I used a plain tutu dress that actually has paint stains I couldn’t get out on it! Don’t worry, they get covered up!
Then I ordered a special mermaid appliqué with the number 5 for my daughters birthday off of Etsy. I also had some leftover sequin fabric I wanted to add to the dress.
I used the sequin fabric and sewed it all
Around the bottom inner layer of the dress. Then I added the patch and wow what a difference with that easy change! I was going to add some puff sleeves but the weather was warm so I ended up keeping it sleeveless.
Purchased an assortment of gem heart stickers and used fabric stitch glue to place them on the dress!
This can be done easily and quickly and you have a birthday dress! You can add sleeves, bows, a sash or belt!
