I was sent a new Rose Garden Dress from CS, because I was worried about how big the first one was, and the lady I talked to (Karen) said that it's definitely not supposed to be THAT big. Well, the new one fits so much better! I can fit one hand under the dress, between the fabric and Beatrice's torso, rather than two, and the ruffle is nice and perky.
The colors are so flattering on Beatrice, too. I can't wait to make her a matching cap and apron!
I finally put the Rose Garden Gown on with the new replacement shift underneath (it's the shift with elastic in the neckline), and I have to say it makes a HUGE difference in the fit of the dress! It doesn't seem big at all now, instead of being a little gaping, and I like the bit of gathered fabric you see above the ruffle.
You do get a problem with the shift's sleeves bunching under the sleeves of the gown, but I was able to fix that but sticking a finger underneath and tugging it down. I should really get that apron made soon, because the dress looks awesome on Beatrice
