First I cut out two pieces shaped like this, that came to a point in the middle, and were wide enough to fit around her waist. I ended up cutting some off in the end, but that’s easy to do later.
On one piece, I laid out 5 pieces of ric rac like so, and then sewed them down, sewing straight down the middle.
Then I took some pre-made piping, and pinned it along each edge, with the piping towards the middle.
I clipped the piping at the bottom there a little bit, to fit better around the little point.
Then, using a zipper foot, I sewed AS CLOSE as I could to the piping. Like, really close.
It turned out perfect!! ๐
Soo lovely !!
And you’re so lucky to have a girl like Sadie
she’s my favorite little model
Oh that’s so wonderful! Practically perfect in every way!
My granny made me a Snow White outfit when I was about 4 (20 odd years ago) and it was wonderful! I wish we had kept it, but it seems to have got lost in house moves. I would have loved to have given it to my children. You are so talented and I am very jealous!

Amazing! Before I even saw the title I thought “That looks just like Mary Poppins dress! ๐
Christy stole the words right out of my mouth….I was going to mention how much she looked like Mary Poppins!

SO cute! What an adorable little Mary Poppins you have! Will sidewalk chalk art be a party activity? ๐
Oh my gosh! I love it! Happy birthday Sadie!
Beautiful! I love the way that you capture the spirit of a very structured style while still making it comfortable (and flexible) enough to play in.
I have been a Mary Poppins fan forever and I seriously want one of these in my size for Halloween! SO cute!
The first thing I thought was…MARY POPPINS! You know where they jump in the painting? LOVE IT! You are an amazing seamstress!
Oh my goodness, that is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen!!!! ๐
Very cute, and yes, you would just have to spin and spin with that circle skirt :o)
So, so, so cute! You have to be the best mom EVER!
Hi Jess! I love your blog! I saw this post just as I was working on the same dress for my daughter as part of a surprise for my sister (Mary’s) wedding ๐ I used a couple of ideas from Sadie’s dress for my daughter’s dress….Thanks so much for the info!

I know this is an older post, but I’m trying to make a similar style dress!
You said you didn’t add the waistband that’s in the circle skirt tutorial, but did you use elastic? Whenever I make a dress for my daughter I always seem to make it too tight to fit over her head!!! I’m new to this!
