Rapunzel

Last week I had the priviledge of testing the Rapunzel Dress from Made for Mermaids.  I fully intended to blog about it then, but my own Rapunzel had a birthday and I got side tracked. :)  But, the good news is that this fun pattern is still on sale for her introductory price of only $4!!

When I heard Megan was working on a Rapunzel Dress I knew we had to have this pattern.  My sweet girl is very intent on growing her hair "down to the ground" so she can be just like Rapunzel. She was THRILLED over this dress.  When you sew as a business, you rarely have time to make fun things for your kids so this was a big treat for her. In a week's time, she's already worn this dress three times.  :) 

Megan did a great job paying attention to all the important details in pattern publishing.  This pattern is very well written and easy to follow.  She has lots of pictures and clear explanations.  I have to confess here that after I've made a pattern a few times, sometimes I don't read my tutorial anymore. For that reason, I love the fact that she printed ALL the cutting information you need on the pattern. If you get lazy like me, you've got it all right there on your pattern pieces. Another great thing about this pattern is that the bodice has actual pattern pieces and not just measurements, so it fits really well and isn't boxy. 

It also has a tie in the back so you can adjust the dress to fit, which was perfect for my girl because she's so petite.  It also adds some extra detail.

We all know little girls love to dress up, so what better than dress-up clothes that you can wear all day??  Megan has been making these dresses for her customers for a while and I'm so glad she decided to make her beautiful creations in to patterns for us!  She also has Cinderella out in PDF and Minnie Mouse.  A little birdie told me that Snow White is coming soon too!!!

Now hurry over to Megan's etsy shop and pick up your Rapunzel pattern before the sale ends!!!
