A tiered dress for a little girl.

For my first project entry, I would like to offer this... My first child's garment! It used to be a adult size ten tiered skirt. I shaped it to the dress form, I then made the shoulder straps and flower. I added the applicae butterfly, sticking two iron on butterflies back to back, and sewing them only down the middle, for a 3d effect. There is also a single hair-clip created with another iron on applicae butterfly. The dress would fit a six year old, and I can imagine it would create quite a swirl when spun. Anyway what do you think?

I think it's gorgeous, and would delight a little girl.
