Time to celebrate the 4th of July in style! I used the Girls Dress with Ruffles and Bow PDF Sewing Pattern by Dear Billy (linked below) and for the material, I actually used one of her daddy's old work shirts that was the perfect blue. It made the outfit extra special :)

Dress Pattern: Ruffle & Bow Dress

Tips: I decided not to add the bow or the sleeves to the dress since it was so hot outside. But I can add them later to give the dress a new look!
