Sequins
Here's my next installment inspired by the Project Toddler Runway challenges. This one was for the Sequins, Feathers, and Fur, Oh My! challenge. (If there is a big enough response, I'll make a tutorial for the skirt.)
So, uh, where are the sequins? Well, I totally would have been voted off the show for not adhering to the theme. This outfit was just one of those outfits that just kept evolving. Initially it was going to be a black ruffled dress with a sequin bow on the yoke, but after fighting with the muslin for a week I decided it just looked like too much dress for one little girl. I had a couple of ideas in the meantime involving black ruffled skirts and gathered sleeves until one late night when I was up with a certain little girl who had no business being awake but insisted on it, I thought of a version of this outfit.
This is what I ended up with: short tunic top with tie, flutter sleeves with lace, cream petticoat skirt with lace, and the sequin bow moved up to the hair. Teagan's sequined church shoes matched perfectly. (The sequins on the bow were sewn on one-by-one. Will just about had a heart attack, but I had to have something to do while watching Netflix.)

I used Simplicity 2668 for the top, but shortened it and added flutter sleeves. Warning, this pattern runs LARGE. I tried it on Teagan before putting in the sleeves and the armholes nearly reached her belly button. Almost. It's a good thing I wasn't planning on having her wear it sleeveless otherwise the Federation Against Child Indecency (FACI) would have locked me up for sure. (Just kidding, I made made that part and party up.)
I sewed a large because it says it's an 18 months size like Teagan is just starting to grow into, but I probably should have gone with the medium or maybe even small size. Other than that, I really liked the pattern.
