Kimono Style Dress for Tweens

I made this dress as a big girl match to S's storybook dress. I used Simplicity 2993.

I'm hoping this dress will lessen the drama on Sunday mornings when the 7 year old "can't find anything to wear!" (said while screaming and crying)

I absolutely love this fabric! It is even more beautiful in person!
